SGA Safety Fund

A Project by UMass Amherst SGA

The Student Government Association (SGA) at UMass Amherst is proud to launch the SGA Safety Fund — a student-led initiative to raise funds to strengthen and safeguard the undergraduate experience.

This fund will serve three critical purposes:
✅ Provide an option for emergency funding for RSOs, so no student group is left behind due to unexpected costs
✅ Support essential SGA programming that fosters civic engagement, leadership, and campus community
✅ Sustain the operations of student government, ensuring we can continue advocating for all undergraduates

In an unpredictable world, students need flexible, reliable support systems. The SGA Safety Fund is about more than money. It’s about resilience, equity, and supporting a minuteman. Your gift directly empowers students to lead, organize, and thrive at UMass.

Help us build a safer, stronger, and more responsive future for student life. Every dollar makes a difference. Every student benefits.

Thank you for your generosity and for believing in the students at UMass Amherst. Be humble and kind, always.
