Ways to Give to Duke
The generosity of alumni, parents, corporate and foundation supporters, and friends helps us with our short-term needs and our long-term aspirations. Gifts to the Annual Fund help pay for laboratory microscopes, computer lab printers, academic programs, extracurricular activities, and more.
Gifts to endowment ensure the fiscal health of the university in the future. A portion of the endowment’s earnings are spent on current operations and for purposes specified by donors. The rest of the investment yield is returned to principal, where it can grow over the years. Our endowment permits Trinity College of Arts & Sciences to nurture innovative programs like Focus and DukeEngage that are Duke hallmarks.
It doesn't take a lot to make a big difference.Every gift helps shape the school and our students. View the infographic >> |
