The Roll Call is Notre Dame’s annual fund. Roll Call gifts from Notre Dame alumni, families, and friends provide unrestricted funds that are deployed immediately to support student bursaries and help to enrich academic, athletic and co-curricular programs beyond what is funded by tuition alone.
EVERY ALUM. ANY AMOUNT. EVERY YEAR.
Notre Dame has been building a culture of philanthropy since Pere’s time. Alumni and friends have been working in the background to support the College and the need is greater than ever. With over a century of alumni around the globe achieving remarkable things, the common thread that unites us all is our shared Notre Dame experience. Together we can continue Pere’s legacy!
HOUNDS AND HOUNDS EVERYWHERE ARE DIFFERENCE-MAKERS
The College deeply appreciates the strong tradition of support from alumni, parents of alumni, and parents of current students. In the 2023-24 year, 64% of our annual fund contributions came from Notre Dame alumni and families. This support significantly enriches our student’s educational, spiritual, and athletic programs and opportunities.
WHY GIVE TO THE NOTRE DAME ROLL CALL?
There is no other school in the world like Notre Dame.
It’s just that simple. In order to preserve the value of a Notre Dame education and maintain the level of excellence it is known for, the College needs continued financial support from the greater Notre Dame community.
Your generosity shapes the leaders of tomorrow.
Athol Murray envisioned a school where students could become the best versions of themselves, unlock their potential, and make a positive impact in their communities and beyond. Our donors help cultivate excellence, turn dreams into reality and help maintain a environment for our Hounds to excel.
Hounds have heart and we can achieve more together.
With a rich history spanning over a century, our Notre Dame community has thousands of alumni and supporters. When all our alumni respond to the Roll Call, those contributions can make a significant impact. Even if you can only contribute a small amount, your support still makes a difference. For example, a thousand donors willing to give $25 a month adds up to $300,000 per year!
Funding Hounds is a significant investment.
Tuition alone doesn’t cover the full costs of a boarding school. The Roll Call helps to fill this gap by funding enhanced academic programs, innovative technology, wellbeing initiatives, as well as expanded co-curricular, athletic, and artistic opportunities that support a balanced education of mind, body, and spirit. It also provides bursaries to help exceptional students attend Notre Dame, and so much more.
Honor a teacher, shack advisor, houseparent, coach, or fellow Hound.
The bonds formed at Notre Dame profoundly impact our lives. A meaningful way to express your gratitude for these life-changing relationships is to offer the same generosity and leadership to a student today that you were fortunate to receive.
Notre Dame is a special place – let’s keep it that way!
