The UMF Fund touches everyone and everything on campus.
It is our top fundraising priority because the University of Maine at Farmington depends on it to fund day-to-day operations and meet our annual operating budget.
Unlike our endowment, which is invested, the UMF Fund is used to support the current year’s needs. These unrestricted funds also allow us to respond to changing circumstances and pursue new opportunities.
