Ring the Bell for Bennett!

Bennett College's Day of Giving is a chance to come together to "Ring the Bell for Bennett" and raise funds in support of the College and the next generation of Bennett Belles, women who will graduate prepared to lead with purpose, integrity, and a strong sense of self-worth. Invest in Bennett College's next 150 years through your tax-deductible contribution. Your gift today will also help us unlock a series of matches and challenges from our generous donors!


Belles who graduated in a year ending in 4 or 9...this is your Reunion Year! All gifts made in support of the Bennett College Day of Giving will count towards your Reunion Class contribution.
