The Fellow Irish Social Hub (FISH) is an independent, non-profit organization which invites Notre Dame students, faculty, alumni and local community members to help develop socially innovative ideas into for-purpose enterprises.

FISH provides a full suite of incubation servNearly 160 years ago, Fr. Edward Sorin C.S.C. articulated a vision for the University of Notre Dame du Lac, that “this college will be one of the most powerful means of doing good in the country.” From its humble beginnings as an educational institution catering to local area orphans, Notre Dame has emerged as a preeminent global academic institution which remains unparalleled in its commitment to serving others.

In an effort to perpetuate this legacy in some small way, we have created the Fellow Irish Social Hub (FISH). This independent, non-profit organization hopes to build on the successes of our ancestors and to contribute to the strong heritage of social entrepreneurship at Notre Dame by connecting students, faculty, alumni and community members to leverage our extraordinary resources and affect even greater impact on the world ices to promising social entrepreneurs through a centralized infrastructure.

This support hub connects inspired intellectual and human capital with vital sources of professional and financial capital to deliver positive, sustainable change to the afflicted populations amongst us.

Are you an accomplished innovator or merely a motivated idealist? Are you a seasoned business professional or a devoted non-profit executive? Are you a committed philanthropist or a tireless investment professional? If any of these descriptions apply, FISH invites you to pursue your ideas or to lend your talents to meaningfully improve the lives of others.
