  • Hampshire alum Joey Carey 02F is working with us through Sundial Initiative Inc., which provides fiscal sponsorship opportunities for qualifying projects. They support projects with guidance, oversight, and compliance when raising grant funds and tax-exempt donations.

The news came quickly, leaving colleagues across the campus facing immediate financial uncertainty and the loss of their livelihoods. We are a group of Hampshire College staff and faculty organizing to support one another in response.
