The Grants Department works under the supervision of the Senior Vice President and Vice President of Faculty and Instruction to help faculty and staff obtain external funding that supports the college’s mission and programs. The department’s responsibilities include:

• Researching and identifying potential government and foundation funding sources
• Notifying faculty and staff about funding opportunities that align with their departments and areas of interest
• Providing assistance with all aspects of grant development, including concept formation, proposal writing and submission, and budget development
• Maintaining an up-to-date library of grant resources for the Massasoit community
• Providing faculty and staff with guidance and instruction in grant seeking and proposal writing

Massasoit faculty and staff who wish to pursue program funding should contact the Grants Department staff to discuss a project’s feasibility and the college’s grant application procedures. Communicating with the Grants staff before seeking external funding is important to help ensure that Massasoit’s grants efforts are coordinated, that funders are not being approached by multiple individuals from the college, and that all necessary administrative approvals are obtained.
