Thanks to you, Isenberg raised nearly $800,000 from more than 1,000 donors during the 2022 UMassGives Campaign!

This year, we'd love to keep that momentum going! Please join the Isenberg community on April 26 and 27 for UMassGives 2023 — this year, we're counting on alumni, parents, faculty, friends, staff, and students to help us reach our goal of raising $1,100,000 from at least 1,000 gifts.

This year, Paul '66 SBS and Gail McDonald, Sandy Barbour '83 MS, Jim ’74, ’76 MBA and Paula Buonomo, and Bill ’97, ’02 PhD and Linda Brown are upping the stakes and challenging you to set new giving records! When the Isenberg community makes 500 gifts to the school, it will unlock $250,000 generously contributed by Paul '66 SBS and Gail McDonald, and once we hit our 1,000-gift goal an additional $250,000 will be unlocked, totaling $500,000 for the Paul J. and Gail M. McDonald Endowed Faculty Fellowship!

Last year 100 Isenberg students participated in UMassGives. This year, Sandy Barbour '83 MS is challenging students to hit new giving records. When 125 students give back to Isenberg it will unlock $250,000 to prepare women for careers in the sport and entertainment industry! Jim ’74, ’76 MBA and Paula Buonomo are challenging the Isenberg community to get involved in supporting our students and programs.

For every $25,000 raised in support for the school, Jim and Paula will generously contribute $25,000 to the Buonomo Finish Line Fund, up to a total of $125,000! The Buonomo Finish Line Fund helps Isenberg seniors graduate when they experience unexpected financial obstacles in their senior year.

Jim and Paula have also included an additional gift in their estate that will bring the Buomono Finish Line Fund to $500,000!

Double your impact to the Melvin Rodriguez Memorial Scholarship! Associate Dean Bill Brown and his wife Linda have generously offered to match the first $25,000 in donations made in honor of Melvin during UMassGives! 

Together, you and your Isenberg community have the opportunity to change the future of our school. Collectively, your gifts can change the lives of students, make a difference for the causes you are passionate about, and create new opportunities for the Isenberg departments that matter most to you. 

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 Isenberg the best possible experience for our students! 

Isenberg is deeply grateful for your generosity. Thank you!

Please feel free to post on social media that you participated — use the hashtags #UMassGives and #IsenbergGives. If you know anyone who would appreciate a chance to support Isenberg, please share this page.
