About

The Department of Development helps advance Notre Dame’s mission to be a force for good in the world by inspiring and stewarding the generosity of alumni, parents, friends, and institutional partners.

At its heart, our work is about connection—sharing the story of Notre Dame and inviting others to take part in its enduring mission of faith, scholarship, and service.

Philanthropic gifts—whether major, annual, or planned—make extraordinary things possible, uniting those who believe in Notre Dame’s distinctive mission with the students, faculty, and programs that bring it to life.
