Bard College Endowment Challenge
How can I help with Bard's endowment challenge?
There are two ways that anyone can help Bard meet the challenge.
1. Bard’s endowment is intended to provide long-term stability and to complement, rather than replace, funds available for basic operations. Therefore, the best way to ensure Bard’s endowment goes further and make an immediate impact is by making an annual gift to the Bard College Fund.
2. Donors who specifically want to make a gift to the endowment challenge may do so through a planned gift or bequest. You can make a significant impact on Bard’s future by including Bard in your estate plans, or by designating Bard as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or other assets.
Of course current donations to the endowment are most welcome. For more information please contact Debra Pemstein, Vice President for Development and Alumni/ae Affairs, at [email protected].

Aileen Passloff (1931–2020).
The Aileen Passloff Award for Summer Study (PASS)
The Passloff Award for Summer Study (PASS) is an award created by friends of Aileen Passloff to honor her memory and her gifts as an artist. Thanks to this annual award, eligible Bard students in the Dance Program can obtain financial support in order to continue to grow as dancers and performers during the summer months outside of Bard. The goal is to raise $100,000 to endow this award in perpetuity.
With your financial help, each year talented Bard students will be awarded a summer stipend to continue their discovery of the art of dance. With this award, Aileen’s memory will be celebrated every year as young dancers are supported in their growth and maturation as performers.
