Capital Campaign Giving

If you’d like join us in this tradition of giving, please contact Director of Advancement and Marketing Ruthie Huggins Lowney '96 at  615-387-6329.

What I appreciate about Harding Academy’s role in my family's life is the joy and excitement on my granddaughter Ashton Riebeling’s ‘29 face when she tells me how great her teacher is, what they learned in class that week, and about the classmates and new friends she is enjoying every day.

A gift to the Foundations for the Future campaign will be by far the most rewarding investment you will make in your lifetime for your children and grandchildren.”
 
Mark Bloom, grandparent and lead donor
We feel a permanent part of the fabric of the Harding Academy community and are honored to help it take the next, and very necessary, step to ensure Harding continues to provide the education and community we are blessed to be a part of.

-   Melissa Frist, parent and campaign co-chair
We are doing this project because it directly supports the core of who we are and what we value at Harding Academy—exceptional programs in the arts and athletics, and an outstanding educational foundation for every student.

One Day. One Future.

Harding Academy Day of Giving

Join us on May 12 for a powerful day of impact.

In just one day, the Harding community can come together to shape the future of our school—for the students here now, and for generations to come.

Your gift, no matter the size, helps fund the spaces, programs, and people that make Harding so special. Whether you’re a parent, alum, grandparent, or friend, your support makes a lasting difference.

  • Make a Gift: Every contribution counts toward our goal—and every gift helps build the future.
  • Pledge Your Support: Consider a multi-year commitment to strengthen our efforts.
  • Spread the Word: Share our exciting news with others who believe in our mission.

Harding is more than a school—it’s a place where values are shaped, friendships are built, and futures are formed. Your gift fuels the mission that makes Harding thrive.
