Thousands of parents of current and past UMass Amherst students contribute to the Parents Fund—for which the university is especially grateful. After all, these donors have already made a financial commitment to UMass Amherst;  But they know that tuition and fees cover only part of the costs of their sons’ and daughters’ education. Their additional investment creates and maintains educational excellence.

As the parent of a UMass Amherst student, you appreciate the quality of your child's education. You understand the importance of attracting and retaining top-notch faculty, putting up-to-date technology at students’ fingertips, expanding library resources, and providing a stimulating variety of co-curricular student activities.

Your gift can help support innovations in undergraduate education, scholarships, new teaching and learning opportunities, and campus life. It can be designated to any school, college, department, or program on the Amherst campus. (And it's especially appreciated.)
