Unrestricted giving to the RIT Fund (formerly Area of Greatest Need) can be a powerful and flexible form of support. It allows RIT to be proactive and reactive to our students and campus needs by applying your gift toward the most immediate priorities.
Your unrestricted gifts help RIT direct funds to the areas where they are most needed, anywhere in the institution. Here are some examples of how gifts to the RIT Fund can be put to use:
> Creates the ability for a student to overcome unexpected financial hardship due to employment loss, death of a family member, or other dire circumstances impacting the student or the family
> Gives a student the opportunity to attend world-class conferences and learn from world leaders in innovation and entrepreneurship
> Enables students to participate in programs like WOCHA and MOCHA (Wo/Men of Color, Honor, and Ambition), where they develop leadership skills through professional mentoring and networking opportunities
> Provides a student the opportunity to participate in an innovation program through the Simone Center and pitch an idea for a COVID-19 vaccination distribution software system
With your unrestricted support, there’s no limit to what RIT students can achieve.
