#UMassGives 2018

#UMassGives is 2 day online fundraising event on April 26 and 27 when alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students, and friends of UMass come together to support their favorite areas of campus.

During #UMassGives, gifts can be made through this #UMassGives website. Gifts can be made to UMass online at any time at www.umass.edu/give.  All gifts given on April 26 and April 27 will count towards the #UMassGives campaign.

Your gift provides operating funds that are used immediately in every corner of the university. Gifts from alumni and friends play an increasingly vital role as funds from other sources, including state or federal appropriations, have stalled or declined. Last year, #UMassGives raised nearly $340,000 from more than 5,100 alumni and friends. 

Donors are welcome to designate their gift to any allocation listed on our #UMassGives website.  Don't see the allocation you wish to give to listed?  Call or email us and we will help you make your gift to the area of campus you wish to support. You can reach us toll free at 1-866-450-8627 or umassgives@umass.edu. If you don’t wish to designate your gift, you may support “UMass Amherst’s Greatest Needs .”
