Gifts of securities and assets
Gifts to the Picower Institute may also be made with securities and mutual funds, stocks, IRA charitable rollovers, and other assets.
Corporate giving
Corporate gifts can be made to support research funds, fellowships and professorships, and seminars. Many companies offer employees a matching gift benefit that doubles the contribution to the Picower Institute.
Bequests and trusts
You can leave a legacy to the Picower Institute by establishing a bequest, trust, or retirement plan through MIT. These gifts help reduce your taxable estate while allowing you to retain full control of your assets during your lifetime.
Gifts in memory or celebration
No matter their size, gifts to commemorate or celebrate a family member, classmate, faculty member, or friend can be designated to the Picower Institute.
Naming opportunities
A named professorship, graduate student fellowship, or community space is a lasting gift that permanently associates the name of the donor – or that of a family member, friend, colleague, or professor – with the Picower Institute.
