Publications and Resources

Based in Charlotte and established in 1924 by James B. Duke, The Duke Endowment is a private foundation that strengthens communities in North Carolina and South Carolina.

Our simple and elegant landscaping reflects the ideals of our founder, featuring native plants, a "green" roof, courtyard reflecting pool and a cascading fountain at the building entrance.

Featuring works of art that bear a special connection to our founder, his legacy and the place he called home.

Our new headquarters in Charlotte has been awarded LEED Gold certification. The building features high-efficiency components, locally-sourced materials, recycled content and a vegetative roof.

The Duke Endowment today is built on the strong foundation of our past. We celebrate that living history in our 2014 Annual Report.
