Advancement Resources

The Office of University Advancement works to support the mission of Drew University by engaging with and securing support, both financial and through volunteerism and affinity, from all of Drew’s various constituencies. Our various teams offer programs and engagement opportunities—as well as support for students, faculty and staff engaged in activities related to advancing the university—that build relationships between our constituents and the university, creating a culture of lifelong philanthropy and volunteerism.

Corporate, Foundation and Government Relations Support

The mission of the Office of Corporate, Foundation & Government Relations at Drew University is to secure financial support from foundations, corporations and government agencies for programs and projects that advance the University’s various institutional objectives and priorities.

What We Do

To carry out this mission, the Office of Corporate, Foundation & Government Relations is responsible for:

identifying corporate, foundation and government funding sources capable of making significant grants and gifts to Drew;
building and facilitating relationships among faculty and staff and corporate, foundation and government contacts;
planning and implementing solicitation strategies for major foundation, corporate and government grants;
writing, or assisting in the writing of, project prospectuses, letters of intent or interest, proposals and budgets that effectively address the project or institutional objectives and articulate benefits to Drew and potential corporate, foundation or government partners;
ensuring that all requests for corporate, foundation and government funding are submitted in a timely and professional manner; and
coordinating the stewardship of all corporate, foundation and government grants and gifts, including the preparation of grant reports.

Donor Relations Support

Student Award Recipient Profiles

Student profiles are a great way for the donors who contributed to your scholarship fund to get to know a little bit about you, your academic and personal interests and what you are doing in your time at Drew. Most of our donors are alumni or former faculty and employees of Drew, so they take a special interest in your Drew experience.

Scholarship recipients are chosen by various campus committees, so donors generally aren’t involved in the selection process. Your profile is how they learn how their gift is being used.

Complete your student profile below. The survey consists of about 10 questions; answer them in a few sentences, about a short paragraph. Remember, there are no wrong answers!

You only need to complete one survey, even if you have received multiple scholarships.

Thank You Notes

Thank you notes are your opportunity to thank your donor individually and express the impact of your scholarship on your education. Thank you notes should be individually addressed to the donor(s) who funded your scholarship. This means you will need to write a thank you note for each scholarship you received.

Plan to attend one of our Student Appreciation Events for assistance writing thank you notes—we’ll let you know when these will take place. Stationery and pens are available to write personal thank you notes, or bring your laptop if you want to type it. If you need to get information about your named/endowed scholarship, please join us for one of these events.

If you are unable to attend one of our Student Appreciation Events, email stewardship@drew.edu for the information you’ll need to complete your thank you note.

Completed thank you notes can be dropped off at Alumni House on weekdays between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., or sent via email to stewardship@drew.edu.
