Why the Annual Fund
Harker is a nonprofit, independent school that educates 2,000 students, from transitional kindergarteners to high school seniors. Our goal is to offer our students an outstanding education that includes broad class offerings and robust extracurricular activities and electives.
A strong annual fund ensures the high quality education and comprehensive programs Harker students deserve. Tuition covers only part of a well-rounded Harker education, and annual giving fills the gap by supporting wide-ranging programs in the current school year.
Give to the Annual Fund
Parents, faculty, staff, students and alumni form a close-knit bond here at Harker. Annual giving is a key component of our community partnership, involving every member of the Harker family.
We believe that every gift matters, no matter the size. We encourage parents to make a yearly gift to the annual fund, understanding that every family is able to contribute on different levels.
Parent participation in annual giving demonstrates support of Harker’s mission to outside funders, putting us in the best possible position to receive grants.
