We get by with a little help from our friends......

We use donations to support events such as our graduation party. We also use this donations to bring speakers, buy equipment or furniture and to sometimes support special projects such as educational trips. In these tight budget times we are sometimes are forced to use our donor account for program necessities.

There are a few ways you can give to Women's Studies:

• Friends of Women's Studies was a group active in the late 1990's that raised funds for a variety of purposes. Most recently funds from the friends group were used to support scholarships for students to participate in a joint gender studies conference between UMass and the University of Havanna Cuba. To read more about the friends fund and donate specifially to this group, click here.
• Alums of UMass receive phone calls from the telefund folks. If you decide to give to the University you can earmark your donation to any program you want. To give on-line click here to go to the Development Office. This is the way to go for those that want to give with their credit card.
  
• We're perfectly happy to accept checks in the mail! We have created a form for you to mail back with your check. It's in PDF format and will tell us a little more about you.

PREMIUMS

Women's Studies has sent many different premiums to donors over the years....t-shirts, posters, mugs. We have so many regular donors (!!) that we will be selecting a useful small gift that you can always use more of.....pencils, pens, magnets, pen holders and canvas bags (for our donors who give $100 or more). We don't know how much longer we can send little gifts out to our donors, but we still have a good supply, so send in those donations!
