UMassGives 2025
Dear students, faculty, staff, and cherished alumni,
It’s that time of year again—your student-run, editorially independent campus newspaper is calling on you for support in our April fundraising campaign!
Since 1890, the Massachusetts Daily Collegian has proudly served the UMass Amherst community, delivering impactful journalism created by students for students and the greater Amherst community. Everything we do is possible because of generous donors like you—our biggest champions.
Thanks to your support this past year, we’ve been able to take some major steps forward. Your donations directly contributed to:
- Sending our sports reporters to cover away games across the region
- Publishing multiple issues of Collegian Magazine—in both color and black & white
- Recording new podcast episodes with upgraded equipment
- Applying for prestigious journalism awards
- Growing our website’s ad revenue-generating capabilities
Your generosity didn’t just keep us going—it helped us grow.
Looking ahead, we’re even more ambitious. With your help, here’s what we aim to accomplish in the next year:
- Increase funding for travel so more of our sections—not just sports—can report from the field
- Expand our multimedia platform by beginning development on a Collegian app
- Print more issues of Collegian Magazine—including a special throwback, classic edition
- Apply to even more awards to continue building our reputation
- Keep strengthening our website’s revenue potential to ensure long-term sustainability
At the Collegian, we believe that student journalism is essential journalism. Your donation, big or small, helps us train the next generation of reporters, editors, photographers, and storytellers—and bring the UMass community the coverage it deserves.
Whether you can give the cost of a People's Market coffee or something more—every dollar truly makes a difference.
If you have any questions or ideas feel free to reach out to us at collegian@umass.edu. We’re always grateful for your feedback and support.
Thank you,
The Daily Collegian Staff
