What is the MIT Alumni Fund?
The MIT Alumni Fund is the annual solicitation effort conducted by the MIT Alumni Association, and is similar to the annual funds operated by other philanthropic organizations. The Alumni Fund campaign runs annually from July 1 to June 30. Each year, the Fund credits the first $100,000 of any gift from all alumni for any purpose. Total gifts to MIT over the course of the year, thus, far exceed the dollars reported in the Fund. Other components of the MIT Alumni Fund include gifts from non-alumni parents; gifts from widows, widowers, and other friends; and corporate matching gifts.
