The Young Alumni program is a place where graduates 15 years out of school and younger can find interesting and engaging ways to stay connected to the University and learn about the value of giving back to Duke. We organize class-centric, regional and Durham-based programs and events.

Your gift to the Duke Annual Fund is important.
Why? Because gifts of all sizes add up. That’s how an annual fund works! It takes thousands of donors giving what they can to help Duke cover the many costs that simply aren’t met by tuition income and other sources of revenue.
Annual Fund gifts help Duke provide need-based financial aid to about 50 percent of its undergraduate student body. Alumni giving also helps Duke provide students with a transformational educational experience by supporting library and laboratory resources, a world-class faculty, and programs that enrich student life and offer opportunities for discovery.
