UMass Amherst Parents Advisory Council - Family to Family Fund

Support Our Students and Families in Need by Donating to the Family to Family Fund


Our Parent Advisory Council consists of a small group of families of undergraduate students with a strong commitment to student success, connection, service, and giving. Through our partnership with the University and the Office of Parent Services, council members create a sense of community among families (current and new) and strengthen the University by providing valuable insights from a parent perspective and support through gift giving.

Your gift (whatever the size) will directly support the Council’s activities and initiatives including but not limited to:

  • One-time lodging for low-income families attending Ready for the U (formerly known as Orientation) and Family Weekend
  • Family Reception at Commencement
  • Meet and Greet for new and current families
  • One-time micro-grants to support students in need (books, break housing, food, transportation, and more)

Make an impact on student success! Donate today!

Funds will be managed and administered by the Office of Parent Services with disbursement approval from the Parent Advisory Council.
