At Western Illinois University we have a system much like Charna's.
 It works well for us too.

Nancy,

Here at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro we have a rather
informal (undocumented) working relationship with our Advancement
Office.  Depending upon who the faculty member speaks to first, we both
seach for private sponsors.  They keep us informed of sponsors with
whom they are currently working or planning to work.  In turn we direct
faculty interested in those sponsors or in need of a "gift" to the
Advancement Office.  The Advancement Office routes proposals that are
project oriented through us.

Clear as mud, but it seems to work.
