Anonymous Alumnus Makes Unrestricted Gift of $140 Million to Massachusetts Institute of Technology

As a past recipient of MIT’s generous financial aid, I benefited tremendously from the opportunity to pursue my MIT education and am extremely appreciative of all the ways that MIT has shaped me,” the donor said. The MIT News Office lauded the gift for its flexibility and noted how crucial unrestricted gifts are to the University’s general operations.
