Honorariums & Memorials

Gifts made to Father Ryan can be a meaningful way to honor
or memorialize the life of a teacher, coach, alumnus, or friend.

Making a Gift

To make a gift in honor or memory of an individual, please use the form below.  Please mention the name of the person you are honoring or memorializing with your gift. If you would like Father Ryan to notify the honoree or a family member of the memorialized person, please indicate the name and address of the individual to be notified. The notification will include your contact information but has no mention of the dollar amount of your gift.

If you prefer, you may mail a check to:

Advancement Department
Father Ryan High School
770 Norwood Drive
Nashville, TN  37204

Please make checks payable to Father Ryan High School and include the name of the person you are honoring or memorializing as well as the name and address of the individual to be notified.

If you have any questions, please call the Advancement Office at 615-269-7926.

What will my gift support?

Unless otherwise specified, gifts in honor or memory of an individual are unrestricted and provide essential operating support to Father Ryan.

Honorees or family members of the deceased may also request funds to be directed to an existing restricted fund that holds special meaning. If the family has requested funds to be directed in this manner, your gift will be placed in the appropriate fund.

How do I mention Father Ryan in an obituary or recommend gifts be made to Father Ryan in lieu of flowers?

We suggest that you use text similar to this:

In lieu of flowers, please direct memorial gifts to Father Ryan High School. Visit www.fatherryan.org/memory or mail checks to Father Ryan High School, 770 Norwood Drive, Nashville, TN  37204. Please indicate that the gift is in memory of [name] by writing a memo on your check or by completing that section of the online giving form.
