Giving to HSU
From scholarships to educational equipment and research; capital projects to campus improvements; faculty and staff to student and alumni activities, what we do matters. Giving to HSU helps continue our legacy and build our future. On behalf of each student and alumni, faculty and staff member whose life is being impacted by your gift – thank you!
Choose How and Where You Give
Did you know that any gift – even $5 – makes a difference? Few people are ever able to fund a building or endow a faculty position, but everyone can give.
Gifts may be made online, by mail or phone, when visiting with us in person, or through a Planned “Legacy” Gift.

Join Our Giving Societies
Heritage Society
Loyal donors who give consistently over a generational span of 20 years, from the time of their first gift, are honored as lifetime members of the Heritage Society. Loyal donors are the cornerstone of Hardin-Simmons University’s success, providing the means by which HSU can carry out its mission of educating tomorrow’s Christian leaders.
Members of the Heritage Society will be recognized in the Range Rider.
John G. Hardin Society
The John G. Hardin Society inaugurated in 2006, recognizes and honors those who have generously included HSU in their estate plans. Members of the John G. Hardin Society play a significant role in maintaining the long-term fiscal stability of the University and its ability to plan for the future. Read more here!
John G. Hardin Society members receive a John G. Hardin Society certificate, are invited to the President’s Club Dinner, and will be recognized on the future John G. Hardin Society recognition wall.
Pace Setters
The Pace Setters giving society honors individuals who have made the commitment to invest in Hardin-Simmons University through a recurring monthly gift. Automatically recurring gifts offer supporters a convenient method of contributing smaller gifts that add up overtime, providing consistent and continuous support for the University. Pace Setters who give recurring gifts over spans of 5 consecutive years (i.e., 5, 10, 15, etc.) will be recognized in the Range Rider.
Presidents Club
The Presidents Club of Hardin-Simmons University was organized by the approval of the Board of Trustees in November of 1968 and its name honors the dedicated individuals who have served as President of the University. The President’s Club is open to those who give $1,000 during the year or $10,000 over a lifetime:
- $10-99K (Bronze level)
- $100-999K (Silver level)
- $1M (Gold level)
The Club is designed to aid the current President and all who succeed him in achieving their goals for the continued growth of the University and prioritizing excellence in education. Through the years, Hardin-Simmons University has been a dynamic leader in quality Christian education. It is believed the members of this Club will effectively unite their efforts with the members of several HSU boards, strengthening the work of the President and enabling him to maintain and advance the university’s high standards.
President’s Club members are honored at the exclusive President’s Club Dinner each November.
