About
Spirit Week of Giving is a time for the entire Notre Dame community—students, parents, alumnae, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends—to come together in support of the Notre Dame Fund, the Academy’s top fundraising priority.
Every gift to the Notre Dame Fund fuels our mission, empowering today’s students to grow as scholars, artists, athletes, and leaders who will make a difference in the world. When we come together as one community, united in one mission, we go All In for Notre Dame.
