Philanthropic gifts and grants from corporations and foundations are vital to realizing Emerson College’s vision to be a world-leading educational institution for communication and the arts and contribute to the creative culture on Emerson’s campuses in Boston, Los Angeles, and Kasteel Well, Netherlands and throughout their surrounding communities. Corporate and Foundation Relations (C&FR) is the college-wide liaison that promotes and strengthens strategic relationships with corporations and foundations that support institutional priorities as outlined in the College’s Strategic Plan, Extraordinary Emerson 2030.
Impactful contributions include, but are not limited to, support for endowment, scholarships, capital, facilities, college-wide initiatives, curriculum enhancements, community engagement, and approved priorities for academic or administrative departments.
Corporate and Foundation partners have the opportunity to address business needs, drive positive change, and give back to the community as partners in Emerson's extraordinary future.
