How to Partner with Institutional Advancement

This website is designed to help faculty and staff explore opportunities for collaboration with the Division of Institutional Advancement (IA). You and we share a common goal: to advance the Brandeis mission and amplify the university’s impact on the world. Let’s work together! 

What We Do
  • Connect alumni to Brandeis and to one another through events, programs, and communications.
  • Build relationships and secure philanthropic support for key university needs and priorities.
  • Partner with corporations and foundations to advance teaching, research, and student opportunities.
  • Promote the accomplishments and impact of alumni, as well as the generosity and impact of donors, through effective communications.
Why It Matters

Every gift, event, and partnership expands opportunities for Brandeis students and faculty. Together, we make Brandeis stronger.
