Department of Architecture

Designing Opportunity Fund

Show your support for UMass Architecture by making a contribution to our Designing Opportunity Fund!

This fund is supported entirely through your donations, and the money we raise directly goes directly to students in the Architecture Department.

Since the DOF started five years ago, we have distributed mini grants to dozens of students in need of a helping hand to purchase studio supplies or who wanted to participate in an activity or event to enhance their learning through engagement, innovation, or research.

The fund helps Architecture students pay for model supplies; supports site visits, field trips, conferences, and research activities; helps fund scholarships to offset the costs of college education; and more.

Thanks to you, students know they can turn to the Design Opportunity Fund. UMassGives gifts of all levels are gratefully accepted – thank you!
