We are seeking unrestricted donations to the University or to a specific school within the curriculum. We encourage each person to contribute faithfully each year in accordance with his or her means. Unrestricted gifts support many academic needs. These change from year to year as the needs of the University and its schools change or opportunities emerge. These needs are basic to the operation of an institution of higher education and include primarily scholarships, but also faculty enrichment, program development, library acquisitions, administrative expenses, new equipment and improvements in facilities and grounds.
Many companies encourage their employees to contribute to their alma mater by matching their gifts.
If your company has a matching gift program, help us take advantage of this opportunity by obtaining the form needed from the personnel office of your company. Please complete the form and return it to us with your gift record and count toward the level for recognition in the Donor Program. The Harding University Annual Fund has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service as fully qualified to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions solely in support of Harding University. We generally send direct mail appeals or call our friends and alumni every year. Once a multi-year pledge is made, we delay calls until that pledge is completed.
