Rise Up Together UM

Your gift to the UM Foundation in support of the College of the Arts and Media Impact Fund helps us direct essential resources so students and faculty can thrive. 

The College of the Arts and Media Impact Fund gives our leadership the flexibility to direct funding where and when it is needed most. It supports students and faculty in pursuing unexpected opportunities in creative scholarship, travel, experiential learning and artistic engagement. 

When you give to the College of the Arts and Media Impact Fund, you help:

• Recruit new students and provide them with critical support to succeed when they face unexpected financial barriers that may prevent them from paying for tuition, books or supplies.
• Empower students to pursue experiences beyond the classroom, such as national and international training and performances when those opportunities present themselves.  
• Support fresh opportunities for faculty and students on and off campus by hosting events such as e-sports national tournaments and all-star and all-state musical competitions. 
• Attract and retain renowned professors and creative artists who inspire our students and move our programs forward. 
• Cover unexpected, last-minute expenses for faculty and students throughout the semester like musical instruments or art supplies. 

Thank you for supporting UM during The Big Give. When we give — all together UM — we change lives. We change the world. We rise up together.
