Philanthropy at Work

Support the ongoing growth and development of Heronfield Academy with a designated gift to our ongoing projects. These high priority items will help enhance campus facilities, support academic excellence, and strengthen our sense of community. Gifts may be made in honor or in memory of an individual or group. Thanks to the broad range of supporters and their resources, donors give with others in their comfort level and in a way that matters to them and to the Heronfield community. There are several ways to give and all of them help us and our students maintain the high quality of a Heronfield education.

Founders Society = $10,000+
Great Blue Heron Society = $5,000 – $9,999
Farmhouse Society = $1,000 – $4,999
Heronfield Heroes = 5 consecutive years of giving to the Heronfield Fund

The Rich Davis Fund = separate fund (exclusively for scholarships)

To discuss your interest in supporting these specific commitments, please call 603-772-9093 to speak in greater detail with the Head of School.

The 2025-2026 School Year

Ongoing Priority #1: Professional Development for Heronfield Teachers and Staff
Support the continued growth of Heronfield’s faculty by funding regional and national conference attendance, as well as bringing guest speakers to campus.

Ongoing Priority #2: Facilities Enhancement to Connect Upper and Lower Campuses
Since the founding of the school, the infrastructure for water provisions and discharges was limited to the large structures (The Farmhouse and the Multipurpose Rooms in the Main Schoolhouse) on upper campus while the lower campus (Field House and iStudio) has remained without full water access and drainage. Extending these basic functions of the school to include the lower campus infrastructures on par with the upper campus would be an important enhancement for the short- and long-term operations of the entire campus.

Ongoing Priority #3: Land Use Audit
The beauty and size of the campus have been at the core of Heronfield’s inherent value as a center for Middle School of excellence. Ensuring its long-term prospects for strategic growth will require careful consideration of the architecture, code requirements, construction needs, academic goals, athletic needs and, of course, growth of the enrollment or conversion of existing structures. For all these reasons, a professional Land Use Audit is required as we prepare for the launch of a new Strategic Plan.
