Alumnae Annual Fund | Bennett Fund (Gen. Op.)

The Alumnae Annual Fund & Bennett Fund provide general operating unrestricted support that enables Bennett to be agile in responding to the greatest needs of our students and the College. These unrestricted gifts impact every part of the Bennett experience that prepares women of color through a transformative liberal arts education to lead with purpose, integrity, and a strong sense of self-worth. For young women who want a personalized college experience, there is no place like Bennett. With your support, we will continue that legacy for the next 150 years.
