Gifts and Grants

Corporate grants and private foundations provide crucial funding support for research, scholarship, and creative activity, as well as campus programs and events. Before reaching out to a corporate or foundation funder, please fill out the form below so that our Corporate and Foundation Relations Team can help you to prepare a competitive proposal, follow campus policies, and ensure any funds you secure can be accepted and spent as planned.

Gifts-In-Kind

Many industry partners see the value of donating equipment to train SJSU students and advance scholarly activity. They may provide new or even used in-kind donations which may be past their industrial usefulness but still provide academic value. An in-kind donation can be a valuable addition to a laboratory, classroom, or student organization. If you are considering or have secured the promise of, or the potential promise of, an in-kind donation, please submit this form so that we can assist you in navigating the campus process for accepting the donation.

Sponsorship

Corporate sponsorships provide not only funding but an opportunity to showcase visible support for a particular group, field, or social issue. We can help strategize your outreach in consideration of other university efforts which may be in process and ensure funds can be accepted and used for their intended purpose. In some cases, we may be able to connect you to potential funding sources. Please submit this form before reaching out to a corporation or foundation about a gift or grant, a sponsorship, or a donation for a faculty or student-organized event or activity and a team member will contact you.
