Dear John, Open and free – a simple core concept of OCW – has had profound and far reaching impact. Since its launch in 2001, OCW has offered millions of people to access high quality MIT educational materials that once wasn’t possible. OCW knocks down the financial, geographic, and political barriers, bringing knowledge and understanding to people in every corner of the globe. This is what open and free means.
OCW quite literally supports millions of learners and teachers every year in their quests to improve themselves, help their students, and lift up their communities.
And now, we are asking for your support. Our goal for OCW’s spring 2017 fundraiser is 1,000 donations. Won’t you please consider being one of these thousand supporters?
This year, thanks to Telmex, one of our corporate sponsors, we have a limited number of special Thank-You gifts to acknowledge your participation. If you are able to give $50, $100, or more, you can choose to receive a special Thank-You gift, which is fully funded by our sponsor. This means 100% of your donation will go to OCW to help us continue to publish open and free MIT materials. We offer special appreciation to the MIT faculty and friends who also donated their books, Geiger Counters, and time to support OCW.
Please help us reach our goal by contributing today and encouraging your friends, colleagues and family to do the same. You can see our campaign video below.
Thank you for helping us demonstrate the positive power of open sharing.
Sincerely, Cecilia d'Oliveira
Associate Dean of Digital Learning
