On behalf of UMB, we manage a portfolio of foundations that give to higher education nationally or in our region. Faculty and staff should contact us before applying to any private foundation so that we can update you on the current status of UMB’s relationship with the foundation. For instance, there may be limitations on the number of applications that may be made, particular donor preferences, current presidential interest, etc.

Please consult with our office before contacting any of the foundations below:
