The ND Loyal community, like the greater Notre Dame Family strives to be an example of faith, hope, and love. Our team members and volunteers consistently seek to build and deepen relationships, lean on one another, and celebrate our shared responsibility to make the world a better place. By volunteering with ND Loyal, our 300 members connect their enthusiasm for Notre Dame with their diverse personal communities, bringing together former roommates, classmates, and teammates with the causes on campus most relevant to them. This past year, ND Loyal volunteers helped over 36% of all ND alumni reconnect with the mission of Notre Dame.

ND Loyal volunteers extend the incredible invitation to participate in the mission of Notre Dame and the opportunity to make a deep and profound difference. As a community of alumni with diverse interests, backgrounds, and passions, we believe this invitation is inherently intended for all. In spreading this invitation, volunteers have helped increase the University’s overall alumni participation by more than 2,000 alumni donors year after year.

ND Loyal volunteers are motivated by a desire to work for the Common Good. Our community recognizes the tremendous value, privilege, and responsibility of receiving the Notre Dame undergraduate experience. As former students, we seek to ensure this experience is available, enhanced, and expanded for current and future students. This past year, ND Loyal volunteers inspired alumni to give over $305,000 to current ND students — the vast majority of which was built from gifts around $50.
