Supporting UMass Amherst’s Mission
UMass Amherst is committed to enabling people from every walk of life and every corner of the globe to pursue their academic and scholarly goals and contribute to the university’s mission. As a trusted partner, the UMass Amherst Foundation provides philanthropic opportunities that advance this mission.
In response to recent federal actions that may place federal funding at risk, the foundation is providing ways to support those community members whose livelihoods will be negatively affected: graduate students, postdocs, research staff, and research faculty whose salaries are directly charged to federal grants and contracts.
Please consider a gift to any of the funds below in support of innovation, creativity, and research to advance the common good.
