Annual Fund

Annual giving is the backbone of fundraising at The Harker School, providing the Margin of Excellence to our comprehensive programs. We encourage all Harker families to participate in this tradition and support the school’s mission. When you donate to the annual giving fund, you directly benefit every teacher and student at Harker, impacting classrooms, programs and students across the board. Your contribution enables students to excel both academically and in extracurricular activities.

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.
