UMassGives 2025 is over, but you can still support UMass Amherst today, or any day, by clicking here!
Support the College of Humanities and Fine Arts!

As a valued member of the College of Humanities & Fine Arts (HFA) community, we invite you to support the department, initiative, or program that is most important to you during UMassGives!  

Your gift has the power to open doors, support important works, and shape meaningful futures. No matter the size, every contribution helps drive a shared commitment to a future enriched by creativity, insight, and human connection.  

Your gift supports:  

  • Students with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, each bringing a unique perspective to the classroom.  
  • Faculty dedicated to understanding and advocating for humanity's common experiences, focusing on our shared community and fostering a critical understanding of art, history, music, literature and beyond.  
  • Programs that provide transformative learning opportunities, encourage intellectual exploration, and empower students to leave a lasting impact on their communities and beyond.  

Below, you'll find links to support specific academic departments, initiatives, and programs within the College of Humanities & Fine Arts. Alternatively, you can make a gift to the HFA Student Emergency Fund or the HFA Dean’s Undergraduate Scholarship Fund using the buttons provided.  

Maximize Your Impact! Give during the designated HFA Power Hours and help win bonus funds. The groups with the most unique donors during these hours will receive $2,000 in bonus money.
