Supporting Sanford

Endowment gifts surpass $22 million Thank you for your interest in supporting the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy. Your generosity enables us to fulfill our mission to educate future leaders, sponsor outstanding interdisciplinary research, and help international, national and local leaders craft and implement ethical, practical policies for a rapidly changing, globalized world. Please use our secure server to make a gift or pledge online today.

Please, too, keep an eye on this site for exciting news about the Institute’s future. With the goal of transforming the world by transforming lives, we have undertaken a significant fund-raising effort to become the nation’s newest school of public policy. Becoming a school—and raising the endowment necessary for its support—will position us to recruit, attract and educate the most promising students regardless of their ability to pay tuition, and to double the size of our world-class faculty. Read our Endowment Fundraising Priorities (pdf) to learn more about our goals, and visit Duke University’s Financial Aid Initiative site to learn about a matching opportunity that could double your gift.

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 Institute.
