Thank you for your interest in supporting the Sanford School of Public Policy. The Sanford School is a place where students come to learn the rigorous analysis necessary to succeed in the policy arena, and leave inspired to make a difference in the world. The school relies on philanthropic donations to make possible the work of the faculty, centers and programs that contribute to the academic experiences of undergraduate, professional and graduate students.

Whether you are a member of the alumni body, a parent of a current student, or a person passionate about policy based in rigorous analysis, there is a way for you to support the Sanford School.  Through the Sanford Annual Fund, gifts of all sizes help meet the most pressing needs of the school. Through endowment giving opportunities, permanent resources are established to support the school.

Duke University has undertaken a comprehensive fundraising campaign, Duke Forward, and aims to raise $3.25 billion by June 30, 2017. As part of this effort, the Sanford School has a goal of $75 million. To learn more about our priorities and how they embody the major campaign themes, please read the Sanford Case Statement.

Thanks again for your support during these exciting times. Please contact us to make a gift, or to learn more about giving opportunities at the Sanford School of Public Policy.
