Senior Class Giving
Consider participating in a long-standing UMaine tradition of philanthropy.
Make a senior class gift of $25.00 or more and you will:
Become an honored guest at the True Blue Toast reception
A champagne (or sparkling water) and cupcake reception hosted by University of Maine Foundation President Jeff Mills ’82 prior to graduation–scheduled for May 1.
Become a member of the UMaine Loyal M Society
UMaine Loyal M Society membership recognizes consecutive years of giving, only current students are admitted with their first gift.
Receive a commemorative philanthropy cord to wear at commencement
Membership in UMaine’s annual leadership giving society, the President’s Club, is typically offered to donors with annual giving of $1000 or more. Graduating students and alumni 1-5 years from graduation may join with a gift of $250 or more.
Donating to the University of Maine is an investment in the future of its students, faculty, and community. Contributions help fund scholarships, enhance campus facilities, support research, and ensure that every student has access to the resources they need to succeed. With this, I have donated to the University of Maine Study Abroad Scholarship fund, which allowed me as a student to spend a summer in London, England, and figure out that that is where I want my career to start. Donating to this fund will allow other students to have that same opportunity. By giving back, we can help future generation Black Bears reach their full potential. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a lasting impact!
As a first-generation college student at UMaine, I have been given so many opportunities and met some of the most amazing people. Your donation along with mine directly supports YOUR choice of clubs, departments and more! From pioneering environmental research to empowering first-generation college students, every contribution helps unlock potential and create opportunities. By giving to the University of Maine, you’re not just supporting a university – you’re investing in the leaders, thinkers, and problem-solvers of tomorrow. Join us in making a lasting impact!
