The Patrick Henry College Society is a faithful fellowship of friends and partners who support the College’s mission of providing a Christ-centered, academically rigorous training ground for Christian men and women. These key benefactors demonstrate their commitment by annually contributing $1,000 or more to the College, thereby helping to ensure that our graduates will, in whatever callings they pursue, contend for the truth found only in Scripture.
Starting a new college from the ground-up poses significant challenges, yet through God’s provision PHC is entering its eighth academic year, having partnered with thousands of people inspired by the hope of a new generation of leaders grounded in principles of faith and righteousness. Patrick Henry College accepts no government funding and refuses to use debt financing for capital projects. Because of this we retain our liberty, though not without a price. Student tuition covers but a portion of the cost of running the College.
For the rest we depend on God’s provision in the form of private financial contributions.
How You Can Help and Why the Society?

The Patrick Henry College Society was created to honor donors who believe strongly in the mission of Patrick Henry College. Members will receive invitations to exclusive College events and, in appreciation, will each receive a special gift. Society members will also receive informative, personal correspondence from the President of the College, sharing news and inviting input on plans for the College’s future. Please consider becoming a part of this important group by making an annual gift of $1,000 or more. |

For your convenience, the Office of Development will work with you to make payments over the course of the calendar year. Matching gifts totaling a minimum of $1,000 also count towards membership. Your gift can be unrestricted, given to the area of greatest need, or targeted to an area of choice. As a Society member, you’ll be an important part of the team. You’ll also be an ambassador, helping us spread the word about PHC and recruiting others to be a part of something that is truly special. Join the Patrick Henry College Society and become one of the thousands who have contributed to the success of an institution devoted to the pursuit of excellence and the glory of Jesus Christ |
