Philanthropy has played an important role at Bennington since the very beginning. When Vincent Ravi Booth, the man who led the founding of the College, put a shovel into the earth during the groundbreaking ceremonies in 1931, he predicted that Bennington College would stand as long as its friends continued to be moved by the same spirit as its founders.
Today Bennington College not only stands, it thrives, and it does so due in great part to your philanthropy. We are so grateful to the 2,346 alumni, parents, and friends who invested in Bennington last year, helping to provide scholarships, attract top faculty, and maintain our historic campus.
This year, your gift will make an even larger impact. When 2,500 donors give to The Bennington Fund, and when the College receives $2,000,000 in gifts for campus renewal, trustee Penny Wilson ’45 will match your generosity with a gift of $1,000,000 for our campus.
Bennington’s campus is as vibrant as its people. Please, help us keep it that way by making your gift today. Thank you.
