Thank you for exploring the “Giving” tab of the Notre Dame website. Here is where you can find a variety of ways to support the mission of our school. The generosity of our community makes it possible for us to offer an innovative and ever-adapting curriculum; to invest in STEM programs for our students so that they might take their places in this still male-dominated space; to fill the shelves of our impressive library with the latest titles in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry; to equip our science labs with all that our students require for active inquiry; and to offer our art students every tool they need to create on canvas, screen, and with sculptural mediums. Your support levels the playing fields for our student athletes, making cost never a barrier to participation. Your contributions help us stage a magical spring musical production each year and help us keep up with the latest technological tools that our students will need to use in high school and beyond.
Perhaps the most profound reason to give is to make sure all these opportunities are available to all students who are drawn to apply to Notre Dame, admiring the school’s mission and capable of success here. Our school’s Financial Aid and Scholarship Program is funded by our donors. Approximately 60% of our students rely on this type of financial assistance, and Notre Dame would not be the same without these students, who bring the wealth of their experiences to our beautifully diverse community.
As you peruse this section of our website, you will see that there are many ways to support Notre Dame and our students. Perhaps you will opt to become a Notre Dame Partner, Alumnae Sister, Chez Nous Angel, or a contributor to The Notre Dame Annual Fund. No matter what you choose, your support provides our students with the opportunities and resources they need to strive for academic excellence, to seek and understand their relationships with God, and to pursue lives of leadership and service.
Thank you for your generosity to and endorsement of Notre Dame!
