"The Faculty & Staff Campaign is a wonderful way to give back to our community. In these challenging times, the need is great. Give what you can— together we can make a real difference."
Jeanne Horrigan ’81
Director, New Students Program
"From laboratory research and classroom dialogue to public service and the outreach of knowledge, we enrich our commonwealth and its people. Giving to the Faculty and Staff Campaign assures our ascent for everyone’s benefit."
Arthur Kinney
Copeland Professor of Literary History
Director, Renaissance Center
"When we work for this campus, we are giving back to both the university and the Commonwealth. Another way we can give is with money. A relatively painless way is by payroll deduction. We can give as much or as little as we wish and every gift makes a difference. There are many choices, such as named or general scholarships, campus beautification (like the Waugh Arboretum) or endowments waiting to be completely funded so that there is enough principal to begin annual earning. Join me in giving within your administrative unit or beyond to build upon the success of last year’s campaign. It’s your choice."
James L. Craig ’96 MEd

"Let’s build on the success of the Faculty & Staff Campaign from past years, and continue to give back to this great university that we all cherish. We need your help to continue to sustain and enhance the quality of UMass Amherst."

Dear Colleague,
BECAUSE OF YOU and your good work, UMass Amherst is on the rise.
No matter your role here, your time and talent contribute to our momentum and our ability to impact our students and our communities. And, the work you do—whether in the classroom, the labs, the libraries, or elsewhere—inspires others to give to UMass Amherst.
Your participation in the Faculty & Staff Campaign is an inspiration, too. It tells our students, alumni, parents and friends that you believe in this university.Your gift says that you are dedicated to helping our students make a difference. And, with the university’s matching funds, we are able to double our support to those areas of campus we care about most. Join us in making a gift today so we all ensure that UMass continues to rise.

Matching Information
Recognizing the importance of growing the culture of philanthropy at UMass Amherst, the university has established a fund of $500,000 to match gifts by current or retired faculty and staff during the 2012-2013 academic year.
- The campus will match $1 for every $1 given by all current and retired faculty and staff to qualified campus accounts.
- To receive matching funds from the campus, pledges must be received during the campaign period (July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012) and must be paid in full by June 30, 2013, with payments being matched on a first come, first served basis.
- All gifts and pledges made during the campaign through continuous payroll deduction will automatically be matched through June 30, 2013.
- If a gift exceeds $10,000, the campus match will be limited to $10,000.
- Contributions designated to any campus account will be matched, except for tickets to university events and deferred gifts, also known as planned gifts or estate commitments.
- The campus match cannot be used in the donor’s total for membership in campus donor societies or clubs.
- Matching gifts from the employer of a spouse or domestic partner will not qualify for campus matching funds. Gifts made by the spouse or domestic partner of a faculty, staff or retiree will be eligible for the campus match.
- Campus matching funds will be distributed into the same account as the original gift.
