As you communicate with donors or directly receive gifts, the Office of the Recording Secretary (RSO) and the Alumni Association Office of Records ask you to be aware of the Fiscal Year 2024 deadlines to ensure gifts are recorded and credited before the fiscal year close.

Our teams are currently working a hybrid schedule. We continue to receive mail from USPS, interoffice/campus mail, and also receive deliveries from UPS and FedEx in secure mailboxes at the front and back entrances of W98. The RSO recommends that checks be mailed via USPS directly to their lockbox services at:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology
PO Box 412926
Boston, MA 02241-2926

For inquiries related to credit card gifts call the Alumni Association Office of Records at 617-253-8270 and select Option 5.

For inquiries related to all other forms of gifts call the Office of the Recording Secretary at 617-253-5048.
