iCons
This UMassGives, you have the power to impact innovation in the iCons Program.


By supporting the iCons Program, you directly accelerate the momentum of our students, faculty, and researchers as they tenaciously pursue scientific breakthroughs that will definitively shape our future.

Your support fuels the heart of the iCons Program and its mission to inspire a diverse generation of innovators with the attitudes and skills needed to solve the problems facing society. This mission comes to life through three core commitments: 

Championing Student Achievement

Empowering students with the resources, mentorship, and hands-on learning experiences that prepare them to thrive in the classroom, the lab, and beyond. 

Driving Discovery Across Disciplines

Sustaining a dynamic community of researchers whose collaborative work pushes scientific understanding forward and sparks innovation at the intersections of STEM, business, and policy

Turning Ideas into Impact

Investing in initiatives that transform breakthrough thinking into real-world solutions in medicine, sustainability, food science, and automation – locally, nationally, and globally. 


A gift of any amount during UMassGives will also get us closer to unlocking two challenge gifts totaling $10,000. Accessing these dollars will help iCons to invest in critical technologies that will allow students to pursue high-impact research and projects in automation, food science, water quality testing, sustainable materials, and biotech. 

After giving, help spread the word! Share your support on social media and inspire others to join you. 

Your support will help empower the leaders of tomorrow. Thank you for your gift.
