A century after The Duke Endowment was established as a catalyst for well-being and opportunity in the Carolinas, the ideal of community continues to inspire and inform our work.
To James B. Duke, helping people help themselves was the test of true assistance. To this day, the Endowment remains committed to solutions that invite people in as creators, collaborators and true partners.
