About IRDF 

The Independent Residence Development Fund (IRDF) is unique to MIT: The fund was established by alumni in 1964 to provide financial support to MIT’s FSILGs (fraternities, sororities, and independent living groups). The IRDF provides low-interest loans and grants for educational space and equipment, safety and accessibility improvements, and historic preservation of FSILG residences. Each year, every FSILG is eligible to receive an educational operating grant from the IRDF to support its educational mission.
