Common Questions
For all eligible graduates of Notre Dame: YES. If received by December 31, gifts to IEI can qualify you for the ticket lottery if they meet the minimum contribution amount. For more information about eligibility requirements, visit the Football Ticket Policy.
You can make a gift at anytime, but to ensure tax credit and football ticket lottery eligibility, please remember to make your gift online by December 31. Online gifts completed no later than midnight in your time zone on December 31 will qualify.
Note: IRS guidelines require online credit card transactions be completed by 11:59 p.m. December 31 (based on the time zone in which the gift is made) in order for those gifts to count toward tax deductibility.
The Institute for Educational Initiatives is just one of many departments within the University of Notre Dame. Like those units, we use the University's giving platform. You can ensure your gift will be received by IEI by using our designated link. You can also make the request in the comment section of the submission form.
A little goes a long way in K-12 schools. When you make a gift to IEI, you join hundreds of alumni, parents, friends, students, faculty, and staff who support the the Notre Dame IEI Annual Appeal each year. All of those gifts—even those under $50—add up in a big way.
