Corporate & Foundation
Who We Are
The Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) office within the NMSU Foundation identifies, initiates and cultivates relationships between the university and private organizations. We advocate for the university’s interests, investments and priorities while demonstrating honesty and integrity.
CFR also works with faculty, researchers and other key stakeholders throughout the NMSU system to help strengthen NMSU’s proud role as a Hispanic-serving institution.
We work to connect you with leading regional and national funders for mutually beneficial partnerships that help faculty, students, and our larger community to flourish.
We strive to extend NMSU’s excellence beyond the classroom by syncing campus efforts and helping you partner with corporations, foundations, and other non-profit organizations.
If you are looking to engage with the university, or you are a member of the university community with questions about potential corporate or foundation partners, we look forward to helping you.
