🐾 Your support unlocks a $100 gift to the Greatest Need from a generous challenger! 🐾
Join the Bowdoin community in going All Paws In to support current Polar Bears and the programs that help them thrive on campus.
Here's how it works: Each year, Bowdoin identifies priority areas that need support now. This fall, the focus is on helping students in ways that have a direct and immediate impact on their daily life at Bowdoin. You decide where you make a difference:
- Bowdoin Book Fund: Ensuring equal access to textbooks for every student, regardless of financial circumstance
- Student Urgent Needs: Direct support when students face unexpected financial barriers
- Student Leadership Initiative: Resources and programming to help Bowdoin students become "leaders in all walks of life"
- Greatest Need: Flexible funding for the College's most pressing priorities
By supporting All Paws In, you’re lifting up today’s Polar Bears—just as generations of Polar Bears did for you.
