Description
Dear students, faculty, staff, and cherished alumni!
Once again, your editorially independent and student-run campus newsletter is looking for your support! Thanks to our donors, the Massachusetts Daily Collegian has proudly served the greater Amherst community and UMass campus since 1890. Your contributions, no matter the amount, allow us to continue producing high-quality journalism and keep our community informed on topics that matter.
Thanks to your help, this past year we have been able to:
● Print and distribute colored magazines throughout Amherst, the greater Pioneer Valley, and the Five College region ● Create and sell merchandise with our logo!
● Purchase necessary production equipment for podcast, photos, and arts sections
● Use funds to send writers to sports events and send all reporters to conventions
With your additional support, we hope to…
● Increase quantity and frequency of magazines (in color!) to reach further in Amherst and surrounding areas
● Develop a centralized multimedia platform
● Apply for awards to increase prestige and professionalism
● Reserve funds for writers to travel to journalism conferences and on-location reporting
We invite you to please donate what you can to support our cause. While we are extremely grateful for those who can give more than $50, we equally appreciate those who can give smaller amounts—every donation counts, no matter the size.
If you have any questions, concerns, or words of advice on how we can make this campaign as successful as possible, please reach out to collegian@umass.edu. We sincerely appreciate any help in growing and developing our paper to be the best it can be!
Thank you, Daily Collegian Staff
