What is the Lowell Fund?

The Lowell Fund is Vital to UMass Lowell

Gifts to the Lowell Fund are solicited several ways, including by student phone callers during the annual phonathon and by a direct mail campaign.

The Lowell Fund is created through annual gifts from alumni and friends—people who know the history of UMass Lowell and believe in our future. The fund supports campus-wide, current priorities including student scholarships, faculty development, library and computer resources, special research projects and facilities management. All gifts to the Lowell Fund are put to work within the year they are received.

Unrestricted gifts—gifts that are not designated to a particular college or department—give the Lowell Fund its strength. These gifts are essential as they provide the University with the flexibility to respond to opportunities and needs as they arise.

A strong Lowell Fund ensure that UMass Lowell will continue to provide scholarships to the best and the brightest students, recruit exceptional scholars and researchers to our faculty, purchase necessary lab equipment and educational materials, and support academic programs and activities.
