Mission Statement: To perpetuate the memory of Dean Everett Moore Baker

“… our colleges have placed too much emphasis on the imparting and gaining of knowledge and too little on developing opportunities for the acquisition of wisdom and understanding.” – Dean Baker

Who can apply?

ANY student, group of students, or organization can apply for funding to launch a project or organize an event on campus that benefits the MIT community and enhances student wellbeing.

We seek to fund new projects and events, or those that have undergone substantial changes (we do not provide annual funding for existing projects or events).

When are applications due?

The Baker Foundation accepts proposals between September 1st and May 1st each year.

Applications are reviewed as they are received throughout the year.

Please submit your application at least three weeks in advance of your event or project start date.
