Dear UR Colleagues:

I am excited to share an update about a great new recognition and marketing tool for the Hesburgh Libraries. Thanks to the partnership of University Communications, Stewardship and the Hesburgh Library staff, we have a new website, which both recognizes benefactors who have created library collections, and shares the impact of these funds. It can be found at librarygiving.nd.edu. Our hope is that in addition to stewarding current library donors, this site will assist fundraisers in securing gifts in the future. Diane Parr Walker is sharing the site with benefactors this week. A special thanks and congratulations goes to Sara Kassen, Kris Machalleck and Erin Bess, who made this possible. Note that we also maintain a site for named professorships and directorships at professorships.nd.edu.

Dear Colleagues –

The Restricted Giving Societies are rolling out new membership levels to move in line with the Sorin Society.  Donors who give an annual gift of $5,000-$9,999 will be Blue level members. Donors with $10,000 or more annual giving will be Gold level members.   This is the first time our Restricted Societies have recognized donors at the $10,000+ level. Our goal is to acknowledge the generosity of members who already give at the $5,000+ level annually and encourage stepping stone growth within the societies. Our traditional levels will remain the same.  Please see the chart below.

The formal launch of the Blue and Gold levels of the Restricted Giving Societies occurred Sunday August 11 via email announcement sent to all current members.  Updated brochures will be mailed to members later this week with a letter explaining the changes. The additional experiences will be consistent with those implemented by the Sorin Society in April.

 

New Experiences include

• Gold level members will receive an invitation to participate in exclusive signature Notre Dame Events at the annual Shamrock Series Game and at a post-season bowl, should Notre Dame participate in one.  These events will involve University leaders and unique keynote speakers on topics of special interest.

•Donors at the both Blue & Gold levels will have access to a special post-game Mass and dinner, and use of a VIP Club Room Friday afternoons and pre-game Saturday during home football weekends.

 

•New members at both the Blue and Gold levels, as well as those who have 5 consecutive years of membership at those levels, will receive a special seatback naming opportunity in the Purcell Pavilion. (Members who already qualify for a seatback based on 5 consecutive years of giving will be contacted separately later this fall for the next installment period)

New brochures will be sent to the Eddy Street Commons Library or they can be sent to you personally by request. As always, you can contact any of the Restricted Societies or the Donor Experience team with questions or prospects!

We will be posting Jen’s position as soon as possible.  If you have referrals, we would be happy to hear from you.

Thanks so much,

Janet Jessup and Danny Nussbaum
