Bequests
A gift to MIT by will or trust is a creative way to help the Institute
in the long term, while still retaining full control of your assets during
your lifetime. Each bequest to MIT serves as a legacy to future generations,
and helps secure the future of the Institute and of society. Every bequest—no
matter what size—provides benefits to our students, teachers,
and researchers.
Many alumni and friends have already informed MIT of plans for bequests
to the Institute, and many others have undoubtedly also established gifts
of this kind. Staff members in our gift planning office are eager to
help donors and their legal advisors craft bequest
language so
as to ensure that the donor’s estate objectives are met.
To further explore the benefits of making a charitable bequest to MIT,
or for help choosing the language that’s best for you, please contact
