Giving to ND

Holy Cross Society

Membership in the Holy Cross Society is offered to alumni and friends who have invested in Notre Dame's future through their planned gifts. Planned gifts that qualify you for membership include the following: a bequest in your will or living trust to Notre Dame; an irrevocable life income plan (i.e. a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust); a life insurance policy that names Notre Dame as the beneficiary and owner of the policy; and/or a gift of a residence through a retained life-estate contract.

New IRA Legislation - Reduce the cost of your charitable giving

In August 2006, President Bush signed a new law permitting tax-free distributions to charities through individual retirement accounts (IRA's). Under the new legislation, Holy Cross Society members can make an IRA distribution in 2007 of up to $100,000 to tax-exempt organizations such as Notre Dame High School. This new law expires at the end of 2007.

Please contact the Notre Dame Development Office at 847.779.8610 to set up a meeting.
