MIT Science and Engineering Program for Teachers (SEPT)
Dear Fellow Alumni/ae:
We are following up on a suggestion made by a number of alumni/ae who asked about setting up a mechanism whereby donations for support of local teachers to the MIT Science and Engineering Program for Teachers (SEPT) would be both tax deductible and eligible for matching funds. As many of you know, our Club has been sending teachers to the SEPT for several years. This has been done and will continue to be done through funds from the Sponsor Dues. An overview of the program's goals can be found at:
Program overview
Additionally, we are pleased to let you know that a mechanism has just been put into place for donations that will be both tax deductible and will have a matching fund feature.
If you wish to send in such a gift, please use the contribution form that you can download at
Contribution form
When using this form, please indicate where you want the funds to go under the "designate" section. You can do this by checking off the "Other" checkbox in that section and write "MIT Club of Southwest Florida Fund (315670)" next to it.
Thank you very much for your interest in our local teachers.
With best regards.
Bob Gurnitz ‘60
President
MIT Club of SWFL
