For Corporations and Foundations

Thank you for your interest in Brown University. Corporations and foundations represent an extremely important part of the Brown community, contributing $25-40 million (excluding sponsored research) each year, and never before has your support been more important than it is today.

In October 2005, Brown launched the $1.4 billion Campaign for Academic Enrichment, an ambitious, comprehensive fundraising effort designed to build on Brown’s historic strengths and to establish even higher benchmarks for excellence in education, research, diversity, and more. A bold reflection of Brown’s dedication to innovation and leadership based on the Plan for Academic Enrichment, the Campaign strives to secure critical funds for a number of priorities including:

  • Financial aid
  • Undergraduate education
  • Internationalization
  • Faculty research
  • Diversity
  • Graduate fellowships
  • Science and technology
  • Biomedical advancement
  • Community outreach
  • Interdisciplinary research and centers

Your investment in Brown is an investment in our nation’s leadership. Through your partnership with Brown University, your organization will gain access to an important source of current and future intellectual talent, and support departments, faculty, and students engaged in innovative research and academic training programs.
