2026 Reunion Classes (1951, 1956, 1961, 1966, 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021) were introduced to the Class Scholarship Matching Gift Program at the 2020 reunion.

The match will be granted at Reunion 2026, based on the amount raised for Class Scholarship funds since 2020. If you want to help, there is still time to make your money count towards this match by giving to your class scholarship fund (or other endowed class funds.)

How does the match work?

The University of Maine Foundation is pleased to offer a 25% matching gift for total donations between $1,000 and $8,000 to Class Scholarship funds.* This initiative will help your class achieve your scholarship goals and increase the financial support available to the student recipients, helping to maximize their success at the University of Maine through your class’s generosity.

*A maximum matching gift from the Foundation of $2,000 per class year ($8,000 donor funds matched with $2,000 Foundation funds.)

If your class is currently participating in another matching gift program with the Foundation, your class is not eligible to participate in the Class Scholarship Matching Gift Program for Reunion Classes.
