Decades Challenge

To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of Bennington College, a Decades Challenge was successfully completed and raised $328,000 for scholarships, Field Work Term grants and faculty support and innovation. Inspired by the support and generosity of our alumni, an anonymous trustee has offered to match a new “Decades Challenge” goal of another $325,000 to be raised by December 31.
