Where does Bennington get its money? How does the College balance different needs and projects with the funds available? Who are Bennington's donors and how do they impact my education?
On April 26, 2017, at 3:00PM in CAPA Symposium, the Office of Institutional Advancement invites students to a presentation and dialogue with Bennington’s Chief Financial Officer, Brian Murphy, and the Executive Director of Development, Elizabeth Briedinger, on institutional finances and private philanthropy. The dialogue following the presentation will be facilitated by students and we encourage everyone to bring any questions they may have.
Just the Beginning
In our mission to engage students and the larger College community, the Office of Institutional Advancement wants to make education an integral part of our work.
Support from private philanthropy represents around one-third of our annual operating budget. We want all students and alumni to understand where Bennington’s money comes from and how it supports the College.
We want the event in CAPA marks the beginning of an ongoing conversation between our office and the larger College community on institutional finances and the importance of private philanthropy.
