Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is Harford Day’s most important ongoing fundraising activity, raising over $200,000 each year. The Annual Fund helps provide for the same items covered in the budget: teacher salaries, classroom supplies, special programs, arts, athletics, technology, field studies, and more.

The entire cost of a Harford Day education is not covered by tuition and fees. The Annual Fund helps to offset the approximately $2000 per student difference between the cost of education and tuition/fees. The school asks every family to support the Annual Fund at a level that represents their pride in being part of the Harford Day community and appropriate to their family budget.

Members of the Harford Day community (parents, alumni, faculty, grandparents, and friends) make unrestricted donations each year that go directly into our annual operating budget. Faculty and Board of Trustees for the past two years have had 100% participation levels in the Annual Fund.

Leadership gifts are those of $1,000 or more. Gifts of every size make a difference, and every gift is appreciated. Class participation levels are measured each year and are very important to the success of the Annual Fund each year.

Harford Day values your support! Every year, we recognize our donors in our Annual Report, both by group membership (parents, alumni or grandparents, for example) and giving level. Specific gift amounts are never listed.

Donors making gifts in honor or memory of a teacher, a family member or someone special are listed in the Annual Report along with the name of their designee.

Your volunteer efforts are very important to Harford Day and very much appreciated. The strong partnership we share with our parents is one of our greatest assets. As a volunteer, you get the chance to see first-hand the educational advantages Harford Day provides. By making a gift to the Annual Fund you are helping to maintain and further those standards of excellence.

For the past 60 years, supporting Harford Day has been a philanthropic priority for many people in our community. Year after year, donors repeat their gifts to the Annual Fund, ensuring that Harford Day School continues to provide an unparalleled education.
