UMassGives 2025 is over, but you can still support UMass Amherst today, or any day, by clicking here!

Thanks to your incredible support, Isenberg raised $1,114,381 from 883 gifts during the 2024 UMassGives campaign. Your generosity helped move our school forward — and we’re so grateful!

Now, we’re looking ahead to UMassGives 2025 on April 29–30, and we’d love for you to be part of it again. This year, our goal is to raise $1,000,000 from at least 700 gifts, and we’re calling on alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends to help us get there.

When you give to Isenberg, you’re making an impact — supporting students, strengthening programs, and investing in the parts of the school that matter most to you.

Whether it’s $5, $50, or $500, every gift helps. UMassGives is all about coming together as a community — and when we do, we can make a big difference.

This year, Jenny Dell '08, John Kennedy '76 MSBA, Carol Chusid Lapidus '83, and Matthew Zieper '90 and Debra Wein are upping the stakes and challenging you to set new giving records!

Jenny Dell ’08 is challenging young alumni to get involved and #SupportWhatYouLove. For every 25 gifts to Isenberg from young alumni, Jenny will generously contribute $5,000 in scholarship support, up to a total of $25,000!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of John Kennedy '76 MSBA, every 50 gifts to the school will unlock $25,000 in scholarship support—up to a total of $500,000! That’s right: John is giving up to half a million dollars to support our students—and your gift helps unlock it. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer.

Carol Lapidus ’83 is challenging students to set new giving records! For every 25 student gifts, Carol will generously contribute $10,000 in scholarship support—up to a total of $50,000!

Make 4 times the impact! Matthew Zieper '90 and Debra Wein will match every gift to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence 3-to-1—quadrupling your contribution—until $100,000 in matching funds is used up!

We’re truly grateful for your support — thank you for making a difference in the lives of Isenberg students!
