Where Does Your Money Go?

Every year, the MIT Sloan Student Class Gift supports the MIT Sloan Annual Fund. Since tuition covers only about 63 percent of the School's operating costs, the Annual Fund helps to bridge the gap. As an unrestricted fund, it provides a critical base of support that touches every part of the school by helping to fund student fellowships, new academic programs, faculty research, and technology upgrades.

Does Sloan Offer Matching Gifts?

Many companies offer employees a matching gift benefit that doubles (or sometimes triples) your contribution to MIT. Matching gifts make a critical difference: roughly 15 percent of MIT alumni work for matching gift companies, and their donations added $1.55 million to the Annual Fund last year. So when making your class gift, check first to see if your employer has a corporate matching gift program for MIT at http://giving.mit.edu/ways/matching-gifts.

How Do We Stack Up Against Our Peers?

In 2012, graduating MIT Sloan students across programs raised over $330,000 to support the Annual Fund, with nearly 85% of all 2012 graduates making a gift. The MBA program raised $259,000 with 87 percent participation from the class. In 2012, 95 percent of Stanford MBAs participated in their class gift, while 99 percent of NYU Stern students made gifts. It's time for over 90 percent of all MIT Sloan students--including MBA, MFin, EMBA, MSMS, and Sloan Fellows--to make a gift to the Class Gift!
