Year-End Guide
2025 has been an incredible year. From celebrating a College Football Playoff run in January, to Fr. Dowd’s first charge to a graduating class at commencement in May, to an energized fall full of Giving Society events, there have been constant reminders about what makes Notre Dame special—family.
The end of the year is quickly approaching, and we want to make sure you have everything you need in one place to make your end-of-year donation to Notre Dame as easy as possible.
