Corporations & Foundations

The Corporations and Foundations team seek to match the interests of corporations and foundations with the work being conducted by Western programs and projects. We act across academic departments and administrative offices to pave the way for productive collaborations and then manage the long-term partnerships that result.

By making a gift to Western, corporations and foundations strengthen their relationship with Canada’s best student experience among research-intensive universities, by:

• Gaining exposure to an important source of intellectual talent
• Support departments and faculty engaged in research
• Honour individuals who have played a key role in their success
• Introduce their companies and their products to future users and consumers
• Support and encourage the philanthropy of their employees

Giving Opportunities

The financial and intellectual commitment of our corporate investors is key to Western’s ability to achieve its mission to be “the best student experience among Canada’s leading research-intensive universities”. Through their commitment to Western, corporate investors help our students learn and thrive while enjoying a close association with the knowledge exchange and industry activities of a leading research-intensive university. We encourage companies to explore investment opportunities for increased recognition and visibility among students, faculty, alumni, and staff.
