Lacey Wheeler’s acceptance to Duke brought up one big question: How could she afford to attend? Her financial aid package, including funds from individual scholarships and the Annual Fund, provided the answers.

Thanks to the tremendous support of alumni and friends, Duke Forward raised a record $571 million in gifts and pledges in 2015-16, allowing students and faculty to dream, dare, and discover like never before. The 2016 Duke/Impact report features videos of Lacey’s story and nine others that show how the campaign is making a difference all over campus.

Duke Forward will allow donors to support three challenge efforts and several other priorities, including planned gifts, financial aid, experiential learning, global health, faculty support, and more.

Generations of alumni and friends have generously given their time, service, and money to sustain Duke’s momentum. Contact our gift planning team to make a planned gift now to help ensure that the university  continues to rise.
