Capital Gifts

A capital gift is used to increase or improve permanent assets, such as the school’s facilities. As opposed to gifts that support operating expenses, capital gifts to Harpeth Hall represent an investment in the school's future. Customarily, a capital gift is more substantial than and given in addition to an Annual Fund contribution.
