Current and retired faculty and staff have contributed more than $5.6 million to UMass Amherst in the past three years. You continue to show your confidence in our revolutionary vision of becoming one of the top 20 national public universities in the nation. What we have accomplished so far is extraordinary, and what we can achieve together as we plan strategically for the years ahead is inspiring.
Please invest in our continued efforts to support student success and to expand our research and service impact by supporting the Faculty and Staff Campaign with a gift to your favorite area of campus.
“We are fortunate to have a generous and caring community of faculty, staff, and retirees who are committed to the success and well-being of our students. Your generosity is key to our goal of ascending into the ranks of the top 20 national public universities. Know your support makes all the difference and is greatly appreciated.”

Campus Match (while funds are available)
To support the generosity of our faculty and staff, $500,000 in matching funds will double qualifying gifts, doubling your support to any area of campus you choose.
Match Criteria
- The campus will match $1 for every $1 given by all current and retired faculty and staff to qualifying campus accounts, up to $500,000 (on a first-come, first-served basis) through June 30, 2020. All qualifying gifts or pledge payments made on or after July 1, 2019, will be included in this match.
- All gifts from pledges will be matched as long as you establish your pledge or payroll deduction while matching funds are still available, and you fulfill your pledge by the end of the campaign on June 30, 2020.
- If a gift exceeds $10,000, the campus match will be limited to $10,000.
- Contributions designated to any campus account will be matched, except for tickets to university events and deferred gifts. Deferred gifts are also known as planned gifts or estate commitments.
- Gifts made by the spouse or domestic partner of a faculty, staff, or retiree will be eligible for the campus match. Matching gifts from the employer of a spouse or domestic partner will not qualify for campus matching funds.
- Campus matching funds will be distributed into the same account as the original gift.
- The campus match cannot be used in the donor’s total for membership in campus donor societies or clubs.
