At the launch of the MIT Campaign for a Better World in May 2016, MIT President L. Rafael Reif called upon the Institute’s alumni and friends to join MIT in its effort to raise $5 billion to take on some of humanity’s most urgent global challenges. Propelled by strong support for the Campaign, the Institute ended fiscal year 2017 with $589 million in new gifts and pledges from more than 87,000 individuals and organizations — amounting to the highest annual fundraising total in MIT’s history and bringing the total raised so far in the Campaign to $3.6 billion.
