The bigger, the better. Meeting the challenge of climate change, curing the incurable, building the future people not only deserve, but need. This is what excites us. It’s the possibility, the promise, and the hard work. At Duke, our goals might sound audacious, maybe even outrageous. And that’s OK—because the only thing greater than our ambition is our optimism.  

Join us and together, we will achieve the impossible.  

Because we’re made for this. 

Commencing publicly in February 2025, the MADE FOR THIS campaign for Duke University will seek to engage our global community of alumni and friends to help Duke meet its highest ambitions. Our campaign seeks to extend our value and impact to the world in areas where we know we can make a difference:

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 
Accelerating human progress through innovation

CLIMATE
Creating a more resilient, sustainable planet

STUDENT EXPERIENCE
Building leaders ready to take on the moment

HEALTH
Advancing medicine to help communities thrive

Historic campaigns require historic energy—and that’s the aim of Duke’s Campaign Council, a leadership group of committed alumni, parents and friends.
