For those of us who do not have expertise in the healthcare sector, we may be scratching our heads to figure out how we can contribute to COVID-19 alleviation efforts. In our 3rd event in the series of COVID-19 Front Lines focusing on MIT alums from outside of the healthcare sector, come hear from rockstars who are contributing to alleviation efforts in the community, and get inspired in your path to figuring out what you can do to make a Better World in the midst of COVID-19.
MIT COVID-19 Response Funds
In exchange for the value you receive from this event, we ask that you make a donation (in an amount of your choosing) to the MIT Covid-19 Response Funds.
Funds will support:
MIT COVID-19 Research Fund
Gifts to support MIT’s response to help with the Covid-19 crisis, including providing equipment, space, expertise, and other resources to local area hospitals and other health care providers. Contributions to this fund will supplement Institute resources that are already being applied to these immediate medical needs including through the Medical Outreach and Crisis Management Team led by Professor Elazer Edelman, such as donations of personal protective equipment. Gifts will also support the work of Project Manus under Professor Martin Culpepper for projects including the design and mass manufacture of disposable face shields.
MIT COVID-19 Emergency Fund
Gifts to support MIT faculty and researchers addressing various aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic, including vaccine development, portable ventilators, AI solutions, and improved protective equipment.
