Government and Foundation Relations
The Government and Foundation Relations Office at St. Olaf College is a resource for faculty and staff seeking funding from government agencies and private foundations.
Our mission is to assist individual faculty members, academic departments and programs, and the wider college community in the submission of successful proposals to external funding agencies. The awards received will enrich the learning and research activities of the college.

- its conformity with the guidelines of the funding agency
We're here to help you with:
- Locating prospective funding sources
