Welcome to the MinuteFund, UMass Amherst's crowdfunding platform, facilitated by the UMass Amherst Foundation (UMAF). The MinuteFund is our place to help students, faculty, and staff raise money for their RSO, student group, department, or center on campus. New projects are coming online every week, and you can see all the live projects below. If you would like to support an area that you don't see listed below, you can use this form to make a gift to any area of campus that you are passionate about.
