UMassGives 2026

WHERE TO GIVE 

Student Organizations, Design-Build Teams, and Groups 

Professional organizations, design-build teams, and student groups offer valuable opportunities for growth and innovation. These experiences enable students to build leadership skills, apply classroom concepts to their areas of interest, and prepare for the multifaceted challenges they will encounter in their careers. UMassGives is one of the most important opportunities for these groups to rally support, connect with donors, and secure the resources they need to turn their ambitions into reality. See the individual UMassGives pages for details on specific group needs and where you can make the most impact!  

Dean’s Priority Fund

The Dean’s Priority Fund provides the flexibility to address the college’s greatest needs, with a special focus on the academic experience. Thanks to unrestricted gifts, we have been able to advance initiatives such as our aerospace engineering certificate program, biomechanics tutoring, last-minute student conference travel support, and unique events that broaden students’ horizons and help them build professional networks. When student groups can’t raise what they need from private support, they rely on the Dean’s Priority Fund to close the gap.
