What does my Annual Fund gift support?

The funding priorities of a world-class university are diverse and constantly evolving—with changing technologies, expanding curricula, and the needs of our students. That’s why the financial support and flexibility afforded by unrestricted gifts to the Notre Dame Annual Fund are so important. Such gifts are directed to the areas most in need, such as:

Scholarships

Ensuring that every admitted student—regardless of his or her financial resources—can afford to come to Notre Dame is a foremost priority. By providing more than $2.5 million in scholarship assistance each year, Annual Fund donors have helped literally thousands of students to realize their dreams.

Library Materials

Every term paper, every research project, every new discovery of our students and faculty depends, in some measure, on the resources provided by Notre Dame’s libraries. Annual Fund donations are used to purchase key print and digital collections, while also ensuring the presence of the most efficient and up-to-date information technologies.

Campus Maintenance and Renovations

Notre Dame has one of the most beautiful campuses in all of higher education. The Annual Fund helps to keep it that way by providing for campus and facilities maintenance, especially for our
27 dorms, and for occasional renovation projects.

Every gift matters. Make yours today.
