Bennett Alumnae Raise $1 Million to Shrink School’s Deficit
GREENSBORO, N.C.
Graduates of Bennett College broke records by raising $1 million to help their alma mater out of a deficit that could threaten its accreditation.
The $1,027,533 gift is the largest ever from Bennett’s National Alumnae Association to the school, one of the nation’s only two colleges that focus primarily on African American women. The donation doubled last year’s fund-raising total and surpassed the association’s goal of $750,000.
