Together, your Humanities and Fine Arts community has the opportunity to change the lives of students, make a difference for the causes you are passionate about, and create new opportunities for the departments that matter most to you.
A collective, inclusive vision of our future requires creativity, effort, and knowledge of our shared history and culture. The humanities and the arts feed our souls, challenge our biases and complacencies, and take us to new heights of understanding.
Tomorrow’s vision will be shepherded by today’s students.
Give in any amount—$5, $50, $500, or more. UMassGives is, above all, a community effort that makes a difference through many small gifts. Together we can make the best possible experience for our students! HFA is deeply grateful for your generosity.
Please feel free to post on social media that you participated—use the hashtags #UMassGives, #ValuingArts, and #ValuingHumanities. If you know anyone who would appreciate a chance to support the Humanities and Fine Arts, please share this page!
