Secure Notre Dame's Future: Planned Giving & The Cornerstone Society
At Notre Dame, our enduring strength rests on more than just academic achievement; it's built upon a vibrant foundation of faith, service, and opportunity. As a respected member of our alumni family, you intimately understand the profound, transformative power of a Notre Dame education—and the lifelong impact it has on the young men and women we serve.
The Cornerstone Society is the heart of Notre Dame's planned giving efforts, composed of dedicated alumni, parents, and friends who have made a commitment to support our mission through a gift in their long-term financial plans. These thoughtful and generous commitments are essential. They provide the gift of a catholic, value-based education to talented and deserving students who, without financial assistance, would simply not be able to walk through our doors.
Become a Cornerstone for Tomorrow
By including Notre Dame in your planning and joining the Cornerstone Society, you become part of a powerful, lasting tradition. You personally ensure that talented, motivated students from all backgrounds can benefit from the faith-filled education that shaped your own life and success.
A Legacy of Faith and Opportunity
Your Invitation to the Cornerstone Society
Planned gifts to Notre Dame strengthen our long-term financial stability and support scholarship funds, forming a key part of our endowment. Including Notre Dame in your estate plans helps secure our ongoing success.
Join the Cornerstone Society. If you've already included Notre Dame in a planned gift, please let us know. Your recognition as a Cornerstone Society member inspires others to create their own legacies.
