Who gives to the Annual Fund?

You do! Anyone who appreciates the value of a Notre Dame education, and wants to support the University’s distinctive mission of academic excellence and commitment to the Catholic faith, can have a big impact by contributing to the Notre Dame Annual Fund.

The size of your gift doesn’t matter; your participation does. Please join us in supporting the Notre Dame Annual Fund.

A gift to the Annual Fund puts you in good company:

• Alumni participation in the Annual Fund reached 54.3 percent last year—the highest in Notre Dame’s history. Nationally, only Princeton and Dartmouth exceed this rate;
• Each year, Notre Dame ranks among the nation’s top 20 colleges and universities in terms of annual voluntary support;
• For the last two decades, Notre Dame has ranked first in the amount of contributions made annually by parents;
• Members of the Sorin Society – individuals who are able to support the Notre Dame Annual Fund at increased levels – provided more than $21 million in unrestricted funding last year.
• Hundreds of companies support Notre Dame through matching gift programs that double and, in some cases, triple the impact of individual contributions to the Notre Dame Annual Fund.

Every gift matters. Make yours today.
