The University of Massachusetts Amherst Foundation (UMAF) exists to advance the mission and highest aspirations of UMass Amherst through philanthropy, partnership, and community engagement.

Established in 2003 as an independent nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to supporting the University, UMAF serves as the bridge between donors and the transformative work happening across one of the nation’s leading public research universities. Through alumni engagement, donor stewardship, campaign strategy, and advancement operations, the Foundation helps connect meaningful philanthropic investment with the people, programs, and discoveries shaping the future of UMass Amherst.

This is a moment of opportunity for UMAF as Accelerate: The Campaign for UMass Amherst approaches its final phase with a goal of $600 million. The Foundation is seeking an experienced advancement leader who can help sustain momentum, strengthen collaboration across a decentralized development enterprise, and position the organization for long-term success beyond the campaign. Guided by shared values of connection, courage, and curiosity, UMAF is building a culture rooted in trust, accountability, inclusion, and shared purpose.
