UMass Gives Underway

Join the UMass community on April 28 and 29 to support programs across campus that benefit students

UMassGives is a two-day online giving campaign using email, texts and social media to encourage people to give to UMass Amherst. This year will be the ninth UMassGives. In 2021, nearly 9,500 people participated in UMassGives and they donated more than $1.7 million in support of over 300 different campus groups, centers, departments, programs, athletic teams and more.

The Office of Annual Giving spearheads this effort, but the success of the campaign is due in large part to the hundreds of grassroots fundraising efforts all over campus.

UMass Gives will also host at tent at the Founders Day free campus cookout on Friday, April 29. UMass Dining will serve a healthy and sustainable meal on the Goodell lawn from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
