Student Initiative Fund

The Student Initiative Fund is a Commonwealth College initiative that aims to involve students in philanthropic endeavors in the College. Building community through generosity and giving back is an important part of being a well rounded individual. Many world leaders in business and the arts consider philanthropy a worthwhile endeavor and have donated substantial amounts of money to the development of important causes. The Student Philanthropy Fund is dedicated to long-term goals and far reaching initiatives as opposed to short term fundraising. The fund will strive to both encourage philanthropic endeavors within Commonwealth College and educate our students about its importance in their lives.

If you are interested in being part of this effort, please email Caitlyn Burns at ceburns@student.umass.edu.
