Academy of Notre Dame de Namur Day of Giving
Can I make a gift before April 8 and have it counted for Day of Giving?
Absolutely! Gifts made on this site all count toward Day of Giving goals and challenges. Thank you for jump starting this campaign with an early gift!
What are my donation options?
A gift can be made on this giving page using a credit card, Venmo, Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, or Bank Transfer.
If you would like to send a check or intend to make a gift at a later date please click the Pledge option on the donation form. Pledges are due by June 30, 2025, the last day of our fiscal year. Everyone who makes a pledge will receive a reminder from Notre Dame.

How can I help make Day of Giving a big success?
We’re glad you asked! Parent and alumnae volunteers play a huge role in the success of giving day and we could not do it without you!!
If you want to help get the word out, we put together a toolkit to help you reach out to your ND network.
If you have questions or want more information on how to help make this the best Day of Giving yet, please contact Wendy Waltman, [email protected].
I want to challenge my class, how do I create one?
Donor challenges and matching gifts are a wonderful way to help us reach our goals. They don’t have to be grand or overly ambitious to be effective, either.
Here are some examples you could consider:
Challenge your classmates! Choose the amount of your gift and let your classmates know that when a certain number of classmates give it will unlock your gift! For example: When 10 classmates make a gift, I will donate $100.
Offer a matching gift! Planning to donate $1,000 (or even $50)? You can leverage your enthusiasm to inspire others by offering to donate $1 for every donor up to a certain number of supporters. For example: I will donate $500 if 100 donors make a gift in the next 24 hours.
Encourage Top Spot on Leaderboard! Target alumnae in a specific class or parents in your child’s class to participate. For example: I will give $100 if 10 more donors from the Class of 2005 give.
Visit the “Challenges” tab to walk through the different ways you can inspire others to follow your lead. Questions? Contact Wendy Waltman, Director of Annual Giving, at 610.687.6561 or [email protected].
Where does the money go?
All gifts collected on Day of Giving support The Notre Dame Fund, the Academy’s top fundraising priority each and every year.
The Notre Dame Fund allows Notre Dame to:
- Provide the best teaching resources and materials for all academic departments
- Recruit, retain and support the finest faculty
- Offer financial aid to deserving young women
- Inspire our girls to succeed with critical thinking skills, passion and honor
Each year the Academy relies on contributions to provide special resources for faculty and students.
