MIT Sloan Annual Fund

To maintain our position as one of the leading schools of management worldwide, the MIT Sloan community must be ready to seize opportunities, respond to crises, invest in new ideas, and meet challenges we cannot yet imagine or define. In order to do so, we rely upon the sustained support of our Annual Fund donors. These donors provide essential unrestricted funds to enable the School to deliver on its mission: to develop principled, innovative leaders who improve the world and to generate ideas that advance management practice.

Gifts to the MIT Sloan Annual Fund will:

• Support our junior faculty: Unrestricted annual support provides the means for creative collaboration on campus and abroad for junior faculty members, paving the way for dynamic teaching and ground-breaking global research.
• Provide Fellowship support: Fellowships at MIT Sloan make it possible for the School to attract and retain the candidates whose background and talents position them to most enrich the student community and the business landscape beyond. This diversity of thought and experience is at the core of MIT Sloan’s ability to impact the global business world.
• Educate our students in new ways: As Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. stated in 1964, “The school will never be finished; it will always be a work in progress, anticipating and responding to a changing world.” To that end, new programs, courses and initiatives are constantly in development thanks to unrestricted Annual Fund support.
• Strengthen the MIT Sloan alumni community: Increased alumni outreach through regional programming, clubs, events, and alumni engagement opportunities help heighten the alumni experience. The Annual Fund helps supply the resources needed for alumni outreach, including the Alumni Magazine and the e-newsletter.

The flexibility of unrestricted gifts to the MIT Sloan Annual Fund makes it possible for the dean to use this revenue to achieve all these important objectives. The MIT Sloan Annual Fund provides a critical base of support that has an impact upon all members of our community - students, faculty, and alumni.
