Save the Date for UMassGives
Mark your calendars for UMassGives! The eleventh annual UMassGives campaign will be held Wednesday, April 24 through Thursday, April 25. UMassGives is the university’s two-day online giving campaign.
Each semester we receive dozens of scholarship applications from nontraditional students in need, facing countless challenges as they work toward their degree. The need is great, but we only have funds to award scholarships to a fraction of students. This is where you can help.
This year, we’re raising money to help our students cross the finish line. All funds we raise during UMassGives 2024 (except those donors designate for specific scholarships) will be used to help financially vulnerable students in their senior year complete their degrees. Together, we will build a solid base of support, helping our students achieve their goals and celebrate with their families at graduation.
Our Inspiration
UWW has a strong legacy of paying it forward. We believe in our students and alumni, and we believe in each other. This collective spirit of compassion and generosity has supported UWW students for over 50 years. Help us look forward to future generations of UWW students and the goals that we can help them achieve.
Your Gift Makes a Difference
To make this foundation of support for non-traditional students a reality, we need your help. So, give what you can and know that a gift of any amount—no matter how big or how small—will make a difference.
And if you give during UWW’s Power Hour on Wednesday, April 24 from NOON to 1:00 p.m., your gift will have the greatest impact.
- If we receive the most donations during this hour, the university will award us an additional $2,000.
- If we get 100 donors to give, a generous donor will unlock a $1,000 gift.
Become a UMassGives Ambassador
Your mission as a UMassGives Ambassador will be simple: to get as many people as you can to give a gift online during UMassGives—preferably during the Power Hour. We will send you updates before and throughout UMassGives for you to send to your contacts to get the word out! All of our UMassGives Ambassadors receive an awesome UMass Amherst UWW swag bag containing a mug and a t-shirt. Additionally, there will be the opportunity to win a UMass Amherst sweatshirt!
