Their generous gifts of time, their financial support, and their willingness to serve as enthusiastic ambassadors for MIT are invaluable. Kathryn Hankin, Director, MIT Parents Association
	Parents Like their children, parents of MIT students and graduates tend to be overachievers. Even while helping to pay for their son's or daughter's MIT education, many parents of MIT students make donations to the Institute. They do this to show their appreciation for the world-class education their children are receiving, and to support the programs and activities that make the MIT experience special. Non-alumni parent gifts make up the Parents Fund, which supports programs that directly benefit student life, such as athletics, UROP, scholarships, and the Independent Residence Development Fund (IRDF). A total of 2,483 parents contributed to the Parents Fund in fiscal year 2007, giving a total of $854,977. Check this year’s Parents Fund progress. View the Parents Fund Committee list.
