Under the direction of the president of EMU, and the vice president for advancement as her/his designee, all fundraising for the university and its divisions is coordinated through the development office. (The development office is part of the advancement division.) Fundraising priorities are derived from EMU’s board-approved strategic plan to attract ongoing philanthropic support for the institution and for special projects deemed to be strategic in nature. There are occasions when personnel in divisions other than advancement desire to initiate fundraising on behalf of a special project. In these instances, it is required that the project be approved in advance by the head of the relevant division, and then carefully coordinated with the development office. In addition, there may be faculty or other personnel who occasionally initiate grant proposals to foundations or government agencies. The development office must be advised in advance of preparation of grant proposals to insure that no overlap occurs with funding agencies, and to assure that a plan is in place for the receipt and monitoring of grant funds. In the event of conflicts between parties concerning funding sources, timing of fundraising activities, etc, the vice president for advancement will facilitate a solution with the appropriate parties.
