The largest and most ambitious fund-raising campaign in the history of Bard College—the 150th Anniversary Campaign—was launched during Commencement and Alumni/ae Weekend in May, 2010. At the President's Award Ceremony and Dinner, Leon Botstein announced a campaign goal of $594,350,000 to sustain Bard's leadership as a liberal arts institution. To date $342,503,123 has been raised, primarily from College trustees and volunteer leaders, including $872,462 to endow scholarships from the Board of Governors of the Bard–St. Stephen's Alumni/ae Association.
The 150th Anniversary Campaign is a comprehensive effort that will significantly strengthen Bard's endowment, provide much-needed funds for capital projects, and support the annual operating budget for the four years of the campaign.
