The Media Lab's Office of Development welcomes support from private foundations for general operating revenue for specific research areas, faculty, and students. 

We partner with MIT's Office of Foundation Relations to optimize a foundation’s philanthropic intent for the Media Lab.

If you are affiliated with a foundation and want to learn more about the Media Lab, we can help you match your interests to our projects and programs. We can also arrange for you to meet with faculty, students, and staff.

The 40 for 40 Drive celebrates the MIT Media Lab's 40th anniversary in 2025, focusing on innovation, professorships, fellowships, and research in critical areas like AI, sustainability, and creativity to enhance the human experience.
