Why I Give to Notre Dame

Members of the Notre Dame family give for many different reasons. Whether inspired by their own experiences as students, their belief in the power of our mission, or their enthusiasm for the Fighting Irish, alumni, parents, friends, and fans leave a lasting impression on Notre Dame through their generosity. At the heart of every gift is a shared belief in the power of a Notre Dame education to transform lives and prepare students to make a meaningful difference in the world.

As alumna and donor Allyson Cavaretta ’00 reflects, “Giving to Notre Dame can take a lot of pressure off a student. It knocks down barriers and brings students in so the University can help launch them into the world where the greatest need exists.” Every gift opens doors for students and student-athletes, bringing a Notre Dame education into reach and shaping them into leaders with purpose. When you give to Notre Dame, you invest not only in a student’s future, but in the impact they will have on the world around them.
