Donor partnerships Tucked away in all corners of the globe, both likely and unlikely,
are individuals with the means and the desire to make our world a better
place. Many of these individuals are searching for the right opportunity
to make a major and lasting contribution to society.
In 2000, MIT launched an innovative initiative—donor partnerships—to
promote relationships between the Institute and visionary individuals
who have no previous affiliation with MIT.
These prospective donors may have a specific goal in mind that complements
research initiatives under way at MIT, or they may be looking for an opportunity
to partner with the Institute in the pursuit of a specific long-term
goal, such as the eradication of cancer or finding cures for the debilitating
diseases which affect the human brain. Donor partnerships
staff introduce these individuals to MIT, and help guide them to areas
of inquiry that could be made possible with private support.
