Information for Corporations and Foundations

Foundation Relations helps to build relationships between private foundations and WPI.  We serve as the primary contact for foundations that wish to philanthropically support WPI.  In addition to assisting with proposal development, we are also able to arrange for meetings or campus visits between foundation representatives and members of the WPI community.  We work with professional foundations, family foundations, community foundations, and corporate foundations.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss partnerships and collaborations with your foundation.  You can connect with our office to explore partnerships across our campus or if you have a specific area of interest.

Yes, WPI is exempt from federal income tax under Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Whether funds received for a research project will be administered as a gift or as sponsored research is based upon the nature of the funded project and the terms and conditions of the award documents.
