Blue and Green Fund
Blue and Green Fund
At Harford Day School, we are fortunate to enjoy a culture of giving and support, providing us with vital financial resources every independent school needs to thrive and grow.
Since the founding of our school in 1957, generations of parents, trustees, alumni, grandparents, faculty and friends have contributed to Harford Day with a spirit of generosity that makes us proud.
Tax-deductible gifts to the Blue and Green Fund:
- support faculty salaries
- promote individual opportunities for our students in all divisions
- add technology to classrooms
- contribute to financial assistance
- give our school the leading edge in educational excellence.
Throughout our school’s history, our message remains the same: we ask that the first gift that you make to Harford Day each year be a gift or pledge to the Annual Fund. Harford Day's strong tradition of philanthropy strengthens the school today and ensures the promise of tomorrow. Our priority remains the same: funding the faculty and programs which support our mission, so by doing this we provide opportunities for each student to develop their strengths while exploring new interests. Our hope is that all members of the community will participate to the best of their ability.
