We invite you to actively participate in your daughter’s educational journey to becoming a confident, socially-responsible young woman who is an intelligent, active leader in the community.

Giving and getting involved is fundamental to maintaining and advancing the cutting-edge educational opportunities for the young women of Notre Dame today and in the future.

Opportunities to give and get involved at Notre Dame range from the parent pledge program to volunteering at an event, and from supporting tuition assistance to chairing a committee. All gifts and

levels of participation are welcome, appreciated and celebrated!

Choosing to be a part of our culture of giving, whether through a financial gift or a gift of your time, demonstrates your commitment to

expanding opportunities for the Notre Dame women of today and tomorrow.

GivingGuide to

& GettingInvolvedCongratulations on choosing Notre Dame for your daughter’s education! You are an essential part of Notre Dame’s committed and caring community of parents and educators teaching young women what they need to know for life.

PARENT PLEDGE

If you missed making your pledge during the enrollment process, you can still make a pledge or one-time gift now. The parent pledge program is an essential component of Notre Dame’s fundraising program. We ask you to make it your giving priority and also ask that you participate to the extent you are able.

TUITION ASSISTANCE

Notre Dame’s celebrated diversity is one of the many reasons people choose our school. That diversity is made possible, in part, through the generosity of donors who provide funding for tuition assistance. This ensures that young women from diverse socio-economic backgrounds can experience the uniquely empowering environment of an all-girls education. You can facilitate this experience for a young woman who would not otherwise be able to afford a Notre Dame education by joining ThirtyOne Women or giving to tuition assistance.

EMPLOYEE MATCHING

Double your support with an employee matching gift! Corporate matching gift programs help your donation go twice as far. Contact your personnel or human resources department to see how your organization participates in gift matching.
