The Sorin Society is a community of Notre Dame’s most loyal alumni, parents, and friends who are shaping the University’s future by directly investing in our mission.

Through annual gifts, Sorin Society members provide more than $24 million in flexible funds, allowing Notre Dame to act with courage and conviction in addressing our greatest needs. These gifts provide need-based financial aid, enrich the student experience, and ensure our Catholic mission animates all we do. In gratitude, members have historically been celebrated with exclusive access and experiences throughout the year.

Membership Levels & Key Experiences

Together as the Sorin Society family, we invest in students, our Catholic mission, and all that makes Notre Dame home.

Because these gifts are so vital, Sorin Society members are celebrated with unparalleled stewardship throughout the year. All members have historically received access to signature experiences, and as your level of giving grows, so do your opportunities for even greater access and connection.

We give to the Sorin Society because we believe in Notre Dame’s mission to be a force for good and to cultivate hope. Supporting students who grow in faith and purpose—and then go out into the world to do good—is an honor and a joy for our family.
