The more than 25,000 individuals who made donations to the Annual Fund last year realize that state support and tuition and fees cover only part of the true costs of a UMass Amherst education.

Your annual gift to the school, college, department, or campus program of your choice helps create the margin of excellence that both strengthens the institution and confirms and preserves the value of a UMass Amherst degree.

Parents of UMass Amherst students can also contribute through the Parents Fund. Many alumni choose to participate in Reunion Giving. And graduating seniors begin their own traditions of giving through the Senior Campaign.
