Grants Office

The grants office (formerly foundation and government relations) works to secure funding for faculty scholarship, institutional programs, and Hampshire College initiatives by providing a range of services that help build partnerships between the College and public and private organizations.

We manage the grant-seeking and grants administration processes by:

• working with faculty on grants for scholarly work and fellowship applications;
• collaborating with staff and faculty on institutional proposals;
• researching potential funding sources;
• writing and editing proposals;
• helping manage deadlines;
• assisting with interim and final grant reports;
• providing institutional documents and data required by funders;
• and more!

We have a new email address for you to reach us at: grants@hampshire.edu.
