Annual Fund Appeal
Each July, Notre Dame launches the Annual Fund Appeal to contribute to the operating costs of the school, as well as financial aid academic enrichment materials, student leadership training and professional development for teachers.

Annual Fund letters go out to solicit gifts from alumni, current parents, alumni parents/grandparents and friends of Notre Dame. In October, the Annual Fund Phonathon is a follow-up to help solicit pledges to the Annual Fund.

Notre Dame's fiscal year is July 1 to June 30th. Please make your donations by June 30th in order to be included in that year's Annual Report of gifts.

Honor and Memorial Gifts
Honor a loved one with your donation or give your support to Notre Dame in memory of someone special.

Parent Advancement Fund
Notre Dame is blessed with a family that consists of many members, each contributing wholly to the education of our students. Current parents are able to contribute to Notre Dame through this fund for the benefit of our present and future students and are recognized in the monthly newsletter.

Endowment
Notre Dame High School is seeking to establish its first endowment. For decades Notre Dame was nurtured by a "living endowment" of the Sisters of Mercy, who taught and administered the school with almost no financial compensation.

Times have changed and so have the demographics of the school. We no longer have the Sisters to depend on. It is clear that to ensure that Notre Dame High School remains a leader among Catholic secondary schools, we must dramatically build an endowment.

Your help is absolutely essential to develop a significant endowment so that we are able to generate the revenue needed to enhance our programs and to continue to provide our students with superior academic studies. The endowment will also allow us to provide an ever increasing source of revenue which will help to support our future demand for need based assistance and additionally help to guarantee we have the very best teachers for our students.

We invite you to consider an investment in the future of Notre Dame High School through a gift to our endowment.

Planned Giving
Make Notre Dame a part of your will, bequest or other planned gift. Imagine your planned gift as a bridge through the generations and think of your investment as instilling the Mercy vision, mission and beliefs in the young men and women of tomorrow at Notre Dame High School. These gifts can be easily arranged through your personal attorney.
