UMassGives 2026
Support what you love about Isenberg during UMassGives!
This year, our goal is to raise $400,000 from at least 800 gifts. It will take our entire community—alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends—to get there.
Every gift makes an impact. Whether you choose to support scholarships, student experiences, or the areas of Isenberg that matter most to you, your participation helps move the school forward.
Whether it’s $5, $50, or $500, every gift counts. UMassGives is a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together as a community—and the difference we can make when we show up for Isenberg. Thank you!
Beth Gamel '78 G, John Spinney '87, and the O'Brien Family are upping the stakes and challenging you to set new giving records!
Beth Gamel ’78 G, a passionate advocate for student philanthropy, is encouraging students to make their impact count. For every 40 student gifts, Beth will contribute $10,000 in support of OCS Treks Trips (experiential learning trips), up to a total of $50,000—amplifying the collective generosity of our student community.
Support what you love about Isenberg and amplify your impact! Thanks to a generous challenge from John Spinney ’87, every 40 gifts unlocks $6,750—make your gift and help us reach 800 gifts to unlock the full $135,000!
To celebrate Dean O’Brien’s legacy and inspire even greater support for the Dean Tom O'Brien Scholarship Endowment, the O’Brien Family is making it possible for your gift to go even further. For every $1,000 raised (individual gifts or cumulatively), they will generously contribute $2,500—up to a total of $50,000!

We’re truly grateful for your support — thank you for making a difference in the lives of Isenberg students!
