The Duke Endowment enriches lives and strengthens communities in North Carolina and South Carolina.
We support grantees as they nurture children, promote health, educate minds and uplift spirits
Our Renewed Grantmaking Strategies
We have just completed an intensive effort to renew the strategic approaches behind our grantmaking in each of our four program areas. President Rhett Mabry shares reflections and insights coming out of the process as we prepare for the journey ahead.
Our Commitment to Racial Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
We are systematically reviewing our grantmaking and organizational culture through the lens of racial equity, diversity and inclusion to better understand and fight the damaging effects of historic inequities and systemic bias across our work.
Our Strategic Focus on Ages Zero to Eight
We believe that a good beginning for children bodes well for their lives as adults and for their communities. The Endowment seeks strong starts for more children.
