Doris Duke Foundation

The mission of the Doris Duke Foundation (DDF) is to improve the quality of people’s lives through grants supporting the performing arts, environmental conservation, medical research, and child well-being, and through preservation of the cultural and environmental legacy of Doris Duke’s properties. The foundation’s mission, grantmaking programs, museums and centers operate through three related philanthropies: the Doris Duke Foundation, Shangri La, and Duke Farms. Together, the Doris Duke philanthropies support the well-being of people and the planet for a more creative, equitable and sustainable future. DDF’s activities are guided by the will of Doris Duke, who endowed the foundation with financial assets that currently total over $2 billion.
