COORDINATION OF PRIVATE GRANT/GIFT COMMUNICATION AND SOLICITATION
SECTION: GENERAL
INDEX: A-46
POLICY
It is important that efforts on behalf of the University to secure or discuss private gifts or grants with funders or potential funders be well-coordinated and managed. To that end, solicitation or efforts intended potentially to lead to solicitation of a grant or gift from a private donor (including private individuals, organizations, corporations, foundations, etc.) is the purview of the Office of University Advancement (“OUA”) to execute or to coordinate. This includes ongoing communication with the donor/grantor after the gift or grant is received. Therefore, any UHV faculty or staff member desiring to make any outreach to or engage in communication with a potential, private donor should first discuss and coordinate these efforts and communications with the OUA staff. OUA staff will then communicate with the donor/grantor (or prospective donor/grantor), both before and after a gift or grant is received or solicited.
