Cash, checks, credit cards
Gifts of cash are among the most valuable forms of support for MIT.
Because they are immediately available (and are often unrestricted),
they give the Institute the flexibility to meet its most pressing needs.
To make a credit card gift, you can give
now using our
secure server, or call 617.253.8270 to provide your credit
card information over the phone.
Cash gifts made by check should be payable to MIT, and mailed with
your contribution form (pdf
format) or a letter stating your gift’s purpose to: MIT Alumni Fund
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
77 Massachusetts Avenue, Room W92-280
Cambridge, MA 02139
Phone: 617.253.8270
E-mail: giving@mit.edu
Donors of cash may prefer to make their gifts by electronic funds transfer
(EFT). Fixed amounts can be given to MIT monthly or quarterly, either
for a defined or indefinite period. You can print out the electronic
funds transfer authorization form (pdf format)
from this site, or contact us to request a hard
copy form. MIT employees may also give via payroll deduction (pdf format).
Gifts may also be wired directly from your bank to MIT’s bank
through a bank wire transfer.
If you have questions, we hope you’ll visit our FAQs (frequently
asked questions) area, or feel free to contact
us.
Case study: Credits and tax credits
Approaching his 50th reunion, Benjamin Rover is considering a gift
to support his class reunion campaign. He has already included MIT in
his estate plans, and usually supports the Alumni Fund with annual contributions
of $1,000. To celebrate his reunion, he decides to make an outright gift
of $5,000 in cash.
Rover’s new gift will be—
- credited to his personal cumulative giving record,
- credited to his class’ 50th reunion gift, and
- fully tax-deductible.
