Rockne Heritage Fund

Revisit the legacy left by Coach Rockne in his 13 seasons at the helm of Notre Dame with this video from Sports illustrated. More than a coach and teacher, more than an innovator and a motivator, he is still unmatched today in college athletics.

Rockne Heritage Fund

The Notre Dame experience is a powerful thing. Spirituality, academics, community service and athletics; excellence in all four of these areas is what Notre Dame offers a student-athlete, with the help of generous benefactors.

Simply stated, this athletics annual fund is the cornerstone of Irish Athletics. It is the culmination of generous gifts, large and small, that allows the Athletics Department to support the mission of the University in a significant way.

Throughout the year, two themes presented themselves in the feedback from our loyal benefactors: a strong belief in the University's mission and an understanding that student-athletes and their families need financial support now more than ever.

Members of the Director's Circle recognition society donate $1,500 (Traditional level) or $5,000, $10,000 or more (Irish Legends level) to the Rockne Heritage Fund on an annual basis. These especially generous donors are eligible for an exciting rewards package.

Highlights of the Rewards Package

  • Very attractive football ticket benefit, access to parking, Athletics and University publications, and invitations to VIP events.

  • Every Rockne Heritage Fund donor receives an invitation to the annual football tailgate event with Coach Brian Kelly, Athletics Director, Jack Swarbrick and current student-athletes.
