Halfway There!

We're officially halfway through UMass Lowellโ€™s Days of Giving, and the energy across campus is incredible.

So far, 1,851 supporters have already helped raise $309,345, but we still need momentum to reach our goal by tomorrow night.

Youโ€™ve already made an impact by giving — thank you. Now, you can help us go even further by:

  • Sharing Days of Giving with your network (email, text, or social media)
  • Posting why you chose to support UMass Lowell
  • Encouraging friends, family, and colleagues to join you in giving
  • Using the Advocate Toolkit to make sharing quick and easy

Here is our Advocate Toolkit to help spread the word: Days of Giving 2026 Advocate Toolkit

Every single gift counts during these 3 days. Thank you for being part of this effort.
