HOW CAN I BECOME A UNITED IN BLUE FUND MEMBER?
Any gift designated to UMass Lowell Athletics makes you a member of the United In Blue Fund. Gifts above $25 receive United In Blue Fund member benefits.
IS MY CONTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED IN BLUE FUND TAX-DEDUCTIBLE?
Yes. All gifts to the university are tax-deductible as provided by law.
CAN I CHOOSE WHERE MY MONEY IS SPENT?
Yes! The choice is yours. If you're giving online, just select the designation(s) that you'd like. If you're giving over the phone or by check, be sure to specify the program or fund you wish to support.
AREN'T LARGE DONATIONS THE ONLY ONES THAT COUNT?
No. The core component of the United In Blue Fund is our annual giving program. Any gift, regardless of size, has an immediate impact on UMass Lowell Athletics. Your annual investment provides support for our student-athletes both academically and with their sports performance.
AS A STATE-SUPPORTED, DIVISION I INSTITUTION, DOESN'T UMASS LOWELL ATHLETICS ALREADY HAVE THE FUNDING IT NEEDS TO SUCCEED?
No. State, federal and NCAA funding provide only a small percentage of the support needed. We still rely on fundraising to provide our coaches and student-athletes with the necessary resources to compete at the highest level. This includes funds for recruiting, traveling to non-conference away games and first-class facilities.
