Corporate and Foundation Relations

As part of University Advancement, the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) is a central university office that assists in fostering relationships between UNT, companies and private foundations. We help faculty and external funding partners connect and collaborate to advance mutual goals that align with the university’s research and educational mission.

CFR’s staff helps companies and foundations navigate the numerous university initiatives, find research and programs of interest and arrange for campus meetings.

We are eager to speak with faculty and staff interested in partnering with a company or foundation, and we enjoy learning about the variety of projects and programs on campus.

Email us at CFR@unt.edu. We also invite you to stop by our offices located on the third floor of the Gateway Center.
