Giving to RLE

Recipients of the 2003 Helen Carr Peake Research Prize, Courtney C. Lane (l) and Joshua G. Bernstein (r).

RLE: Where the Future Begins
The Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) welcomes your support and philanthropy. Gifts to RLE are used almost exclusively for three objectives:

  • To support RLE student education and research, and to recognize and encourage student excellence.
  • To support and seed junior MIT faculty advancing their research careers in RLE.
  • To support and seed innovative activities in RLE’s research groups, and to promote quality of life and encourage community in those groups.

Opportunities for your philanthropy to promote these objectives are available both at the level of the Laboratory as whole as well as in areas that are more specifically targeted.

Laboratory-wide Philanthropic Funds

The Jonathan Allen Junior Faculty Fund. The Allen Fund is RLE’s primary mechanism for fundraising for graduate student support and to assist junior faculty. All resources raised will be placed in perpetual MIT endowment. All income from the endowment will be used to create graduate fellowships for MIT students supervised by RLE faculty with the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The Allen Fund, thus, supports both students and junior faculty.
