Fund Foundation
Friends of the University of Notre Dame, Inc. (FUND) continues to find creative ways to partner with Notre Dame student-athletes, while delivering on our mission. We believe now is the time to Rally. This is the name of our campaign, which begins in the fall of 2023.
Why Rally? Rally is the first word in the first verse of Notre Dame's beloved victory march. During times throughout Notre Dame's history, including recently during COVID-19, Notre Dame students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends have found ways to Rally. And at FUND, as we aspire to enable Notre Dame student-athletes to reach their potential, teams to compete for championships and all of us to help improve the community in South Bend, we believe now is again time to Rally.
Why the four-leaf clover on the logo? Well, those of you familiar with this great University will know that above the East side door of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, facing the Golden Dome, you'll see the words: "God, Country Notre Dame". The three leaves of the clover are a tribute to those words and what they mean to so many students, alumni, faculty, staff and fans. And for this design we added a fourth to represent the Notre Dame student-athletes.
During this campaign, we will be raising money, strengthening partnerships and expanding the work we do with Notre Dame student-athletes throughout the South Bend community and beyond.
So you may see our logo for this campaign on this website, on some merchandise and maybe even in a few places around campus. When you do, we hope you too will be inspired to Rally... and support Notre Dame student-athletes and the entire university community.
Stay tuned for more information about how you can help Notre Dame student-athletes and all of us Rally.
