The UMass Foundation is supported by a robust network of donors committed to public education, inspired by the work of our faculty, and passionate about the talent and potential of UMass students. Donors can become part of this community in several ways:

• Give to one or more of the UMass campuses
• Donate stocks, taking advantage of tax and other financial benefits
• Establish a planned or estate gift
• Make an in-kind gift of valuable property, such as artwork, first editions, or other private assets in support of the university

The foundation’s professional team is available to help donors explore these and other options for wealth management and to administer gifts with expertise, while honoring their intention and confidentiality in service of a stronger UMass.

Funds invested by the Foundation come from many donors — alumni, friends, students, and other advocates — who are committed to helping UMass sustain its mission and grow private support so it continues to thrive.

These resources are provided to help you:

• Educate clients about the benefits of planned giving, such as tax deductions, income streams, and estate planning.
• Identify the best planned giving options for each client, such as bequests, trusts, annuities, or donor-advised funds.
• Connect clients with The University of Massachusetts Foundation, Inc., and facilitate the donation process.

The UMass Foundation is pleased to invite key allied professionals (attorneys, trust officers, and financial advisors) to sign up for our quarterly newsletter service focusing on tax issues, estate planning, and other developments that affect gift planning. To subscribe, click here.
