Supporting Harley

Why Your Support Matters

Philanthropic support is a key component in the success of a Harley School education. As an independent school, Harley does not receive government funding, so we depend on the generosity of our community to provide a one-of-a-kind learning experience. Your gift directly supports the people and programs that make a Harley education extraordinary—from professional development for our outstanding faculty to innovative academic programs, arts, athletics, and sustainability initiatives.

Every gift, regardless of size, makes a difference. High participation from our community is a powerful vote of confidence that helps us secure outside support from corporations and foundations. When you give, you are a partner in our mission to be a diverse and inclusive school, and you help maintain the long-term fiscal health and stability of The Harley School.
