From the time that James B. Duke penned his Indenture of Trust in 1924, The Duke Endowment has had a home in the Carolinas. We are eager to open the doors at our new headquarters and start a new chapter in Mr. Duke's dream for the Carolinas. Read more in our 2013 Annual Report.

Effective grantmaking all starts with the seed of an idea. In the year ahead, we look forward to cultivating new ideas for "real assistance" — and continuing Mr. Duke's legacy of hope. Read more in our 2012 Annual Report.

Mr. Duke established the Endowment to be perpetual, and we believe that encourages longer-term strategic thinking. Learn more about our unfolding story in the 2011 Annual Report.

Today at The Duke Endowment, we continue to see the value in inviting people to the table. Read more about our journey together in the 2010 Annual Report.

As we look back, we also look forward. James B. Duke's forward-thinking spirit is seen every time we read the Indenture — and we're honored to be a part of his lasting legacy. Read more in our 2009 Annual Report.
