The Spirit Campaign
The most comprehensive campaign ever undertaken by the University of Notre Dame
—and the largest fundraising effort in the history of Catholic higher education—the Spirit of Notre Dame campaign aims to position the University more prominently among the nation’s leading research institutions, while strengthening and affirming our core values: chief among them, a profound commitment to the Catholic intellectual life and Catholic social teachings, a superlative undergraduate education, and thriving residential communities.

How can I help?
While a significant portion of the $1.5 billion campaign goal is designated for endowment gifts, the success of the Spirit of Notre Dame campaign will also depend in large measure on unrestricted support for the Notre Dame Annual Fund. Support the Spirit campaign with a gift now.
Campaign News
It’s official. A little more than two years after its public launch in the spring of 2007, the Spirit of Notre Dame campaign has surpassed its overall $1.5 billion target, with two years remaining in the campaign’s life cycle. This outstanding achievement has been realized through the uncommon generosity of the Notre Dame family.
Campaign Priorities
At $250 million, undergraduate scholarships constitute the single largest goal of the Spirit of Notre Dame campaign. Hand-in-hand with the need for scholarships is a focus on graduate fellowships, without which Notre Dame cannot compete with other top universities for the most talented graduate and professional students.
