Badin Guild

The Badin Guild honors alumni, parents, and friends who have included Notre Dame in their estate or planned giving plans—creating a lasting legacy that advances faith, learning, and service for generations to come.

Named for Father Stephen Badin, whose land became the home of Notre Dame, the Guild recognizes those who have made planned gifts such as bequests, charitable trusts, life-income gifts, or beneficiary designations in support of the University’s mission.

Notre Dame is already in my estate.

If you have included Notre Dame in your estate plans, please let us know so we can honor your intentions, steward your future gift, and welcome you to the Badin Guild.
