ENDOWMENT

Make Incredible Happen for Generations to Come

At Mount Notre Dame, our mission is to empower young women to learn, live, lead, and serve with purpose and confidence. The Endowment Fund, which was established in 2003 is the cornerstone of ensuring that this mission endures, providing lasting financial stability for our school in the immediate as well as for future generations of students.

Empower Her Future. Donate Today.

By contributing to the endowment, you are not just supporting today’s students—you are investing in the future. Endowment gifts are permanently invested, with a portion of the earnings used to support scholarships, academic programs, campus improvements, and faculty development. This ensures that Mount Notre Dame and the good work of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur to start our years of educational tradition continues to thrive, offering the same life-changing opportunities for excellence to every young woman who walks through our doors.

Why the Endowment Matters

An investment in the MND endowment provides financial security, allowing us to offer:

  • Scholarships & Tuition Assistance: Ensuring that deserving students have access to an empowering Catholic education, regardless of their financial situation.
  • Innovative Programs & Facilities: Supporting cutting-edge educational opportunities, state-of-the-art technology, and dynamic extracurricular experiences.
  • Faculty Excellence: Attracting and retaining dedicated educators who inspire and mentor our students.

Your Legacy, Our Future

When you give to the Endowment Fund, you are leaving a lasting legacy—one that will impact the lives of countless young women. Your generosity ensures that the tradition of sisterhood, community, our Catholic faith, and empowerment through education will never cease at Mount Notre Dame.
