Corporate gifts

The UMKC Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations’ goal is to build and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with your organization. Corporate and Foundation Relations serves as your organization’s one-stop resource for talented students, knowledgeable faculty and staff, state of the art facilities, and opportunities for philanthropic support. We will make sure your investment of contribution dollars to Kansas City’s University delivers the strongest bottom-line impact to your organization.

Through developing and maintaining comprehensive partnerships with corporations and foundations, we accomplish our mission of raising funds for academic programs. Our office will work directly with your representatives to ensure the philanthropy you provide to UMKC is integrated into your overall corporate or foundation strategies.
