Where to Give

  • Annual Fund

    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
