UMassGives 2024 is over, but you can still support UMass Amherst today, or any day, by clicking here!
Finance Department

Your gift to the Isenberg Finance Department will help us improve the world-class education and student experience we deliver to our finance majors. The finance major continues to being the most popular major in Isenberg with the Class of 2024 being one of the largest ever to graduate this spring. Our outcomes continue to be excellent with the finance majors being offered an average starting salary of almost $77K in 2023. To cater to our students, we have introduced new electives, and increased the size of our faculty by successfully recruiting three outstanding faculty in the current academic year.

To provide further support to our students and cover the additional costs of events that benefit our students and the finance department, our objective is to raise at least $60,000 from 100 gifts over these two days. With your help we are confident we can achieve this goal!

Your gift will directly support the following initiatives: 

  • An Isenberg Pitch Conference on campus
  • A Finance Department reception in NYC
  • Sponsored trips to NYC for students to visit companies for networking purposes 
  • Scholarships for students who want to start their CFA certification
  • A Winter Isenberg Real Estate Fund event that includes case presentations by students to alums and employers 
  • An Annual Spring Isenberg Real Estate Awards event 
  • An alumni event that includes student presentations about local community projects supported by the program and awards to graduating seniors 

Your support will also unlock the following donor challenge:

Rick Stinson ’82 is challenging the finance community to get involved and support its students. For every 20 gifts to the Finance Department, Rick will generously contribute $10,000 in scholarship support, up to a total of $50,000!

Thank you for your continued support!
