ANNUAL GIFT SOCIETY LEVELS
As a way to recognize our Alumnae who are donors, Bennett
College has reestablished its Giving Society. Members of this
society are true visionaries and their generosity and leadership
play a vital role in educating young women.
There are various gift categories listed in the Belle Ringer and
other publications. During Alumnae Weekend, the following
categories will be honored:
Gift Societies
$1,926—$2,499
1926 Society
$500—$1,925
Golden Belle Club
$200—$499
Silver Belle Club

Carillon Belle Club
A Legacy Gift is established to honor those who have taken the special
step to include Bennett in their long-term plans through a bequest
provision, life-income gift or other deferred giving arrangements.
To qualify for recognition during Alumnae Weekend, gifts must
be received in total no later than April 10th.
