UMassGives 2026

To our Alumni, Family, Friends, and Supporters,  

We invite you to show your unwavering commitment and support for the UMass Football program by making a gift during the 2026 UMassGives campaign (April 29-30). This is an exciting time to invest in our student-athletes and help them achieve excellence on and off the field.  

We are aiming for 200 donors during this two-day campaign, and your participation is key to reaching this goal. A gift of only $5 will count as one, unique donor toward our goal! We also encourage you to inspire others—whether alumni, teammates, family or friends—to contribute as well. Together, we can ensure the continued success and growth of the UMass Football program! 

Bill and Madeleine Noland have generously established a $25,000 Challenge Gift in support of UMass Football! Help us reach our overall donor goal and unlock this gift.

All contributions to Script U – Football or the Gridiron Club count toward the challenge. Your support now will have an immediate and lasting impact on our program.

Efforts toward increasing scholarship support continues to be essential for the UMass Football program. Every gift to the Script U Scholarship Society directly contributes to covering annual scholarship costs and providing additional benefits for our student-athletes. 

Please note, if you would like to take advantage of annual benefits during the football season, such as Hunt Room passes, tailgate passes and parking, gifts must now be directed to the Script U Scholarship Society. For more information and to view the benefit chart, please click here.

Gifts to the Gridiron Club remain vital in enhancing the student-athlete experience by funding critical internal resources relating to nutrition, strength & conditioning, mental health, career development and networking opportunities. 100% of all gifts to the Gridiron Club support Massachusetts Football. Please note that donations do not qualify for Script U donor benefits if you choose to direct your giving to the Gridiron Club. 

Be part of the next chapter of Massachusetts Football by naming a locker in our newly renovated locker room. Your gift will directly support the Gridiron Club while creating a visible and lasting legacy inside the heart of the Martin Jacobson Football Performance Center. This is your chance to honor your time as a Minuteman, recognize someone special, and show your pride in UMass Football. Reserve your locker today! This naming opportunity is available on a first-come, first-serve basis and exists for the lifespan of the locker.  

UMass Football lockers are available at $2,000 for football alumni and $2,500 for all others. They may be pledged over a five (5) year period. Your support is directed to the Gridiron Club and will support our student-athletes in their pursuit of excellence on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. Secure yours today by paying in full or making your first pledge payment. Each locker sponsor will receive one (1) game worn Massachusetts Football jersey, as well as Hunt Hospitality Suite access for yourself + a guest for one (1) select home game during the 2026 season.
