Making an Impact
The unique mission of Girard College – to provide vulnerable children with an excellent academic and residential program – has endured and thrived for more than 170 years thanks to the steadfast support of our community.
This year, we celebrate the Everyday Heroes who stand courageously with our students as they navigate the future and anchor their impact on the world. You extend the legacy of Stephen Girard by securing the tools our students need to create legacies of their own.
If you would prefer to make a gift via check, please make it out to the Girard College Foundation and mail to:

The Steel & Garnet Fund
The Steel & Garnet Fund is Girard College’s annual giving program and provides flexible, immediate funds for the College. Annual giving is crucial to enriching the lives of students through arts, athletics, classroom resources, technology, professional development for faculty, uniforms, and more. Each gift to the Steel & Garnet Fund helps to maintain the financial stability of the institution, generating critical resources for our students.
This year, we hope you’ll consider investing in our students with your own gift to The Steel & Garnet Fund. All gifts, regardless of the size, help ensure that each and every student has an exceptional learning experience at Girard College.
