Giving
Your commitment to girls' education helps shape NDA girls into women who will make a difference in our world.
Like other independent schools, our ability to deliver high-quality college-preparatory programs depends on your charitable support. There is a 33 percent gap between the cost of tuition and the cost of educating each student. From online donations to planned giving, every gift makes a difference.
Thank you for empowering the next generation of Notre Dame Academy students.
Three Reasons to Give to NDA
NDA depends on philanthropic contributions to fund a portion of the operating budget. NDA does not receive financial support from the Archdiocese, nor do we receive federal or state funding.
The Fund for NDA keeps our school affordable, provides our community with philanthropic opportunities to support NDA, and fulfills our mission of educating young women of diverse religious, ethnic, social and economic backgrounds.
Every gift matters. Most gifts to NDA are less than $500; together they make a difference. Every gift benefits each student, faculty, and staff member, as well as all of the programs at NDA.
Ways to Give
Thank you for helping to further the mission of Notre Dame Academy! We offer many ways to give!
The Annual Fund
Support for the Fund for NDA is a fundamental way parents, alumnae, and friends can partner with the school. The annual fund is a critical resource for the ongoing success and financial stability of the school, while it sustains programs not covered by tuition. Gifts impact each student and teacher in myriad ways both inside and outside the classroom.

2025 Making a Difference Gala

Save the date for the Making a Difference Gala, an extraordinary evening of celebrating the remarkable 75th anniversary/legacy of Notre Dame Academy.
This year, we are privileged to honor the Sisters of Notre Dame with a heartfelt tribute for their enduring legacy and present the St. Julie Billiart Making a Difference Award to Chris Cervenak '78, whose achievements reflect the values and mission of NDA.
Your support makes a difference in the lives of NDA students. 100% of the proceeds from tickets, sponsorships, and donations provide direct and immediate tuition assistance to nearly 45% of students receiving aid.
The Making a Difference Gala is NDA's largest yearly event to support our tuition assistance program, with more than one million dollars raised since its inception in 2020.
Tickets start at $200, and sponsorships begin at $400.
