Friends Each year, significant support for MIT comes from friends of the Institute—individuals
who are not MIT graduates, but who believe deeply in the Institute’s
mission. Many are inspired to help bring a project to fruition, support
MIT’s athletic
programs, or make it possible for MIT faculty and students to explore
new avenues of research.
Friends include faculty members, parents and spouses of alumni and
faculty, MIT staff, and hundreds of people who pay tribute to a friend
through MIT memorial
gifts. Widows and widowers of MIT alumni and faculty are also generous
supporters of the MIT community. As members of the Emma Rogers Society
(named for the wife of MIT’s founder and first president, William
Barton Rogers), they maintain strong ties with the Institute.
If you would like to explore ways in which you can support MIT—even
if you are not currently connected with the Institute—please contact us.
We invite individuals unaffiliated with MIT who are looking to give
a substantial gift, and establish a close relationship with the Institute
in pursuit of a specific goal, to learn more about donor
partnerships.
