House Challenge

Honor the home you found within your house by making your gift today.

Bennington’s progressive mission has made the College a leader in higher education; and while many chose Bennington for its unique academic approach, it is the relationships and experiences forged in houses that make Bennington a home.

Thank you to all who participated in the 2016 House Challenge–it was a great success! Over 475 alumni and students participated, donating nearly $158,000 towards the Bennington Fund and making this a tight race to the end.

It is our pleasure to announce that Booth, with 51 participants, is the winning house. A $100,000 endowed maintenance fund for annual house upkeep and repairs will be established for Booth. Thank you to the anonymous member of the Board of Trustees for supporting Bennington and creating this endowed fund.

Just because the House Challenge has ended doesn't mean your giving has to. The Bennington Fund is a constant source of support for our amazing students, campus, and programs, and is always accepting donations—in honor of your house or otherwise. Visit bennington.edu/give.
