Donors are a major source of support for the Foundation. There have been many special donors over the years. One is Dan Christian, an English Literature teacher at a private high school in Baltimore, Maryland. A long time fan, Dan has always believed fully in Harry's message, that each person can make a difference. Dan uses Harry's music in a Dante course that he teaches. He has developed a curriculum that exposes students to both Harry's music and message. He takes this presentation to other schools and donates his stipend to the Foundation. In addition, he makes other personal donations and encourages family and friends to do the same. Past students of Dan's friends and family have also made donations in honor of Dan and his fine work.

Another recent and generous donor is Lawrence Unger. He made his gift "because I was deeply moved by Harry Chapin's work and I felt that this was an appropriate thing to do."
