GUIDE TO SEEKING PRIVATE FUNDING

Fundraising at Metro State is coordinated between two departments.  The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) focuses its efforts toward public funding, while the office of Office of Development specializes in obtaining private funding.  Either office can answer your questions about the fund seeking process on campus.

This guide has also been developed to assist you in your efforts.  Although directed primarily toward seeking private funding, it addresses many program and proposal issues consistent in seeking any external funding.
