The MIT 24-Hour Challenge Returns 3.13.2025!

The MIT 24-Hour Challenge is an annual celebration of the MIT community’s powerful impact in the world—and of the powerful difference MIT donors make for everyone at the Institute.

With your gift during this year’s Challenge, you help fuel groundbreaking research in areas ranging from climate resiliency and cancer research to artificial intelligence and space exploration. You also help provide scholarships and aid for students poised to become leaders in business, academics, civic service, and more. 

This is what it looks like to shape a brighter future—all in a day’s work at MIT.
