about Canisius

Annual Report of Donors (PDF)

The mission of the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations is to serve as the liaison between Canisius College and corporations and foundations.  We are committed to initiating, cultivating and maintaining mutually rewarding relationships with our corporate and foundation partners in ways that enhance each of our organizations’ missions and interests.

Funding from corporate and foundation partners makes a substantial impact on our campus and the teaching and learning experience at Canisius.  Gifts and grants provide important financial resources for:
  • capital projects on the campus
  • equipment/instrumentation purchases
  • innovative learning opportunities that benefits students and faculty
  • scholarship opportunities
  • service and cultural programs for the community
In September 2007, Canisius announced its plans to raise $90 million through A Legacy of Leadership: The Campaign for Canisius College.  As the largest comprehensive campaign in the college’s 139-year history, funds will support capital improvements, scholarship endowments and academic programs.  Please click here to learn more.

Corporations and foundations are instrumental to advancing Canisius toward its goal of becoming one of the premier college’s in the northeast.  Opportunities for foundations and corporations to partner with Canisius are abundant.  For additional information please contact Jennifer Koch, PhD, Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations, at koch25@canisius.edu or by telephone at (716) 888-2235.
