What is Bennington Day?  Bennington Day is Bennington College's annual day of giving happening on Thursday, April 2, 2026. We are asking our Bennington College community to come together in support of our students. There will be opportunities to unlock challenge gifts as we meet certain milestones or match your donation dollar for dollar.

Can I make my gift before April 2?  Yes, we would love to count YOU as an early Bennington Day donor! Early gifts can be made online at bennington.edu/benningtonday. 

Can I send my gift in the mail?  Yes! Checks postmarked by Thursday, April 2 with “Bennington Day” in the memo will be counted as a Bennington Day donor.

Please mail your Bennington Day donation to: Bennington College Institutional Advancement One College Drive Bennington, VT 05201

I already made a gift earlier this academic year. Will that count?  Thank you for supporting Bennington College this academic year! For this fundraising effort, we are counting gifts specifically for Bennington Day. If you would like to support the effort, we encourage you to make an additional gift during Bennington Day on Thursday, April 2. 

I’ve already made my gift for Bennington Day. How else can I help?  Thank you for your gift! Become a Bennington Day Volunteer and access this toolkit with more information on how to spread the word with your classmates, family, and friends.  

Need assistance with your gift?  Please contact the Institutional Advancement Office at 800-598-2979 or email benningtonfund@bennington.edu.
