I am having trouble making my gift. Why won't it be accepted?
Be sure that the address you are entering on the form is the address affiliated with your card. If the zip code you entered does not match the zip code associated with your card, your gift cannot be processed. Still having trouble? Email Nathan Adams at nadams@uma-foundation.org for help making your gift.
Is there a minimum gift amount?
Yes, gifts must be a minimum of $5.
Don't see the allocation you wish to give to listed?
You can support any area of campus even if it is not listed in the drop-down menu. Select the closest area you can find under "Area of Campus" and then select "other" from the "Fund Designation" drop-down menu. Then write in the area of campus you want to support in the field that pops up.
Or, you can email us and we will help you make your gift to the area of campus you wish to support. You can reach us at giving@uma-foundation.org or nadams@uma-foundation.org during UMassGives.
Where do gifts go?
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? Email us and we will help you make your gift to the area of campus you wish to support. You can reach us at giving@uma-foundation.org or nadams@uma-foundation.org during UMassGives.
Is my gift tax deductible?
