This year, our goal isn’t measured in dollars—it’s measured in people.
We are launching a bold new campaign to secure 500 contributors to BAMIT, because the strength of our community has never mattered more.
In these challenging economic times, and in a national climate where our efforts are being questioned or rolled back, BAMIT remains one of the most powerful ways Black alumni can ensure our voices are heard—with MIT’s administration, with Admissions, and across the Institute.
Your contribution of $50, $100, $250 or more—or of any amount—signals something bigger than a gift.
It signals engagement, visibility, and collective influence.
Why Your Participation Matters
BAMIT is the connective tissue that keeps the Black MIT community strong. Your support helps facilitate and sustain programs that directly impact students and future alumni, including:
- Black Graduate Celebration
- Ebony Affair
- Fly-in support for accepted students
- K–12 STEM outreach and pipeline events
- Admissions advocacy and EC recruitment
- Community-building and alumni visibility with MIT leadership
These programs don’t just happen—they require funding, yes, but they also require people. Volunteers. Organizers. Alumni who show up.
The More Engaged We Are, the More Influence We Have
MIT listens when alumni are active, visible, and united.
The more contributors we have, the more weight our community carries in conversations about:
- Admissions
- Student support
- Programs that support inclusive communities
- Institute-wide decision-making
Your participation—your name on the contributor list—strengthens BAMIT’s ability to advocate.
What We’re Asking
-
Make a contribution—any amount counts.
- Call your friends, classmates, and line siblings and encourage them to contribute too.
-
Consider volunteering—our programs grow when our people step up.
This year, it’s not about how much you give.
It’s about showing up.
Let’s reach 500 contributors and demonstrate the full power of the Black MIT alumni community.
