Give to OLLI
The Friends of OLLI is a special group whose financial support keeps OLLI vibrant. OLLI at UMass Boston is a financially self-supporting program and does not receive state funding.
Membership fees and interest from the Osher Foundation endowment finance a large part of the program, but they do not fully fund our costs.
A gift of any size is a gift of knowledge and makes a big difference in the lives of the program and our members.
Join the Friends of OLLI today by giving online, or send a check to:
University Advancement, UMass Boston, 100 Morrissey Blvd., Boston, MA 02125-3393
Your gift supports the Harry Gloss Scholarship Fund
Named in memory of the Harry Gloss, an OLLI founding member, course facilitator, and director, the scholarship allows those who value lifelong learning to participate in OLLI regardless of their financial situation.

Planning Your Estate?
OLLI at UMass Boston also invites members to consider including the program as part of their estate planning. Consider leaving a gift in your will, giving through a charitable trust, a gift annuity, life insurance, pension plan, IRA or through real estate. There is a wide range of giving vehicles which can provide you income for a lifetime along with valuable tax savings.
