What is the Annual Fund?
At it most basic definition, the Annual Fund is our yearly giving foundation that bridges the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a Harding education. But what it truly means is possibility. The Annual Fund makes it possible for us to go above and beyond what is expected of a Memphis private school. It’s what allows us to have a thriving pottery studio, a counseling department that has received outside commendation, and a campus minister that serves our students daily.
Please support the Annual Fund with a gift at one of the following levels:
Visionaries Circle: $10,000+
Benefactors Circle: $5,000–$9,999
Founders Circle: $2,500–$4,999
President’s Circle: $1,000–$2,499
Friend: $500–$999
Partner: $250–$499
Donor: $1–$249
