Parents Fund
Bowdoin’s Parents Fund received more than $2.38 million in the 2023-2024 fiscal year from over 1,200 families, with over 30% of the Fund coming from parents of graduates. Support from these families bolsters Bowdoin’s academics, student life, and demonstrates the power of our Bowdoin Community.
The Parents Fund is the annual fundraising effort conducted during the fiscal year July 1-June 30. Unrestricted gifts, in particular, provide the College with the flexibility to apply resources to the areas of greatest need, or greatest opportunity.
Parents Executive Committee
Bowdoin’s Parents Executive Committee (PEC) is made up of parents of current students and parents of graduates who volunteer to support the Parents Fund and the College community. Students from around the globe come to Bowdoin and form a diverse, vibrant, and strong community – so do our parents.
We are very excited to have the opportunity to support Bowdoin alongside other families and members of the Bowdoin community. Our son is in his 2nd year and we are continually impressed by the talents of the student body and the variety and depth of opportunities afforded to students.
