The University of Massachusetts Amherst has a long-standing practice of recognizing gifts and pledge commitments through the naming of facilities, academic units and programs, and endowments. Naming opportunities can recognize donors, or those they wish to honor or memorialize. All naming opportunities are to be reviewed and approved by the Vice Chancellor for Development & Alumni Relations who will make recommendations to the Chancellor for final approval and, as required, submission to the Board of Trustees for approval. Generally naming opportunities are only offered for outright gifts or pledges of no more than five years in duration; and only for planned or deferred gifts when the gift amount is accessible. This policy is authorized with the endorsement and support of the University of Massachusetts Amherst Foundation Board.
