You Can Help Increase the Impact of MIT Technologies in the Marketplace

By helping to fill the Innovation Gap, the Deshpande Center nurtures good ideas, accelerates the invention process, and promotes progress. But we can't do it alone.

The Center was established in 2002 with an initial $20 million expendable gift from Jaishree and Desh Deshpande . This generous gift has helped kick-start the Center. However, we still depend on the generosity of donors to ensure that the Center has a sustainable source of funding to support its mission of increasing the impact of MIT technologies in the marketplace.

Our Ignition and Innovation Grants could fund the next biotech breakthrough. Our educational efforts might ensure the success of a sustainable energy solution. And the partnerships we forge could help usher revolutionary concepts to market. The Deshpande Center, in short, can improve the world. And with your support, you can too.
