$0 raised$400,000 goal

Dear Friends and Colleagues, We’re excited to invite you to join this year’s UMass Amherst Community Campaign (UMACC)!
This campaign is a powerful opportunity for us to come together with hope and purpose. By supporting the causes you care about, you help nonprofits provide essential services that strengthen our community. Whether it’s food security, medical research, the arts, environmental protection, family support, or animal welfare, your gift makes a real difference.
Giving is simple and flexible. You can contribute through convenient payroll deductions, or choose to give by check or credit card.
If you’re in a position to give more than last year, please consider increasing your gift to help spread even greater hope and impact throughout our community.
Together, we can make lasting change. Let’s unite and show the power of our collective generosity. Go you, Go UMACC, and Go UMass! Warm regards, Laura and Pam

Great Reasons to Give through UMACC! It is a great way to connect with your co-workers and to help those in need.

It’s fun and easy!

It shows the local community that UMass cares.

It reduces administrative work for nonprofits and since over 80% of UMACC donors renew, it's a predictable form of income for them.

Your can give to several nonprofits at once.

Payroll deduction enables you to spread out your payments throughout the year.

It makes record keeping a breeze and things are easier at tax time.

Giving as a part of a community towards a common goal motivates people to participate, who would not donate otherwise. (For real!)

Where Your Donation Goes

It's a lot of work every year to process over 2400 donations and to pay 400 nonprofit organizations!

UMACC is fortunate to partner with CHC: Creating Healthier Communities, our Campaign Fiscal Administrator.

CHC's fee is only 6% of the donations that come in. CHC is a 501(c)(3) organization. CHC focuses on eliminating health disparities. Learn more about CHC in the FAQs.

That means 94% of what you donate goes to the nonprofit(s) that you choose, and 100% of your donation goes to nonprofit organizations.

If you pay by credit cards fees will be deducted from your gift.

UMACC program expenses are paid by the office of External Relations and Community Events.
