The Amherst Fund
Each year, the Amherst Fund (which comprises the Alumni Fund and The Parents' Fund) raises more than $10 million from 12,000 alumni, parents and friends to fund the College's highest priorities and provide 5% of its total operating budget. The Amherst Fund supports academics; scholarships and financial aid; athletics; arts; student life; sustainability; diversity, equity and inclusion programs and every other aspect of life at the College. Gifts have an immediate impact and provide critical, current-use support.
Now, when you make a gift in support of an Amherst Fund priority, you make your voice heard for the students and faculty conducting research, practicing with a team, organizing a club activity or staying late in Frost to study. By supporting what matters to you, you make it matter to others.
