Academic Innovation Fund

The Academic Innovation Fund supports the incredible work and initiatives being pursued by Bennett College faculty and students.

Plant the seeds of innovation today with a gift to the Academic Innovation Fund. Your gift – of any size – empowers our Bennett Belles as critical thinkers and participating citizens in pursuit of truth, beauty, spirituality, social justice, and global leadership.
