The Notre Dame Poverty Initiative is charged with establishing Notre Dame as a premier university in poverty-related research, student formation, and policy and program impact. In short, making Notre Dame one of the best places in the world to understand poverty and discover pathways out of poverty for people in need. This University-level initiative works towards this goal by supporting the growth and impact of existing areas of excellence, fostering the creation of new programs, and unifying these efforts across campus.
