About

The UMass Amherst Foundation (UMAF) is an independent, privately governed, nonprofit located on the Amherst campus. The foundation provides a bridge between alumni ambassadors and donors and the schools, programs, faculty, and students that make up the university. Through both private fundraising and alumni programs, we help match caring people with meaningful opportunities to support UMass Amherst’s mission and people.

The remarkable achievements and strategic growth of the last decade would not have been possible without the collective efforts of a deeply engaged community. That’s why our team continues to strengthen our constituents’ ties to the university, celebrate the vast potential of our students and faculty, and build a culture of philanthropy that ensures a brilliant future for UMass Amherst.
