All gifts to the Department of Biology are greatly appreciated. Naming opportunities exist for graduate fellowships, endowed professorships, and research fund.

Deferred gifts and other tax planning approaches can often make more substantial gifts possible. Through a planned gift, alumni/ae can give assets to MIT while retaining the income. Bequests can be made in the form of a specific gift of cash or property, or a percentage of an estate.

Contributions to the Department of Biology provide critical support by way of graduate fellowships, supplies, and important seeding for new programs.
