Notre Dame Annual Fund
Small Change, Big Impact
Spirit. Family. Loyalty.
That’s the heart of the Notre Dame Annual Fund. For more than six decades, the Annual Fund has been driven by the spirit of the Notre Dame family. The collective support of alumni, parents, friends, students, faculty, staff and, in a special way, members of the Sorin Society has generated much-needed funds for some of the University’s most critical needs: scholarships, faculty recruitment, new library materials, campus renovations, and much, much more.
Virtually no aspect of Notre Dame has been left untouched by Annual Fund support.
The best part is, it doesn’t take a huge donation to have a big impact. When taken together, gifts to the Notre Dame Annual Fund, whether $25 or $25,000, comprise one of the University’s most significant sources of support. And because Annual Fund gifts are typically unrestricted, they can be directed to areas with the greatest need—and the greatest potential for impact.
Every gift matters. Make yours today.

Sorin Society, Matching Gifts Boost Annual Fund
Year after year, the Edward Frederick Sorin Society proves the single largest source of unrestricted annual giving to Notre Dame. Last year, in fact, Sorin members contributed more than $21 million for scholarships, faculty hiring, campus maintenance, library acquisitions, and more.
But corporate matching gifts are also an incredibly powerful way to ramp up your support of Notre Dame—and they won’t cost you an extra dime. Matching gifts are simple to arrange, and they give you a voice in directing your employer’s philanthropic dollars. Donors who arranged matching gifts last year generated $4.2 million in corporate support.
