Bennington Fund

The Bennington experience is transformative, life-changing, and deeply personal. Bennington students can explore ideas and create beyond what they knew existed. A gift to the Bennington Fund helps ensure that today's students are given the opportunity to take their educational experience to unexpected heights.

The Bennington Fund is a critical current-use stream of funding renewed each and every year to benefit the undergraduate experience, including financial aid, campus renewal, Field Work Term, academic programming, and faculty support.

The Bennington community is stronger today than it has ever been, and our connection to one another is reaffirmed by your kindness, compassion, and generosity. Please join us in supporting today’s students by making your gift to the Bennington Fund. 

Thank you!
