Dragon Fund

Duke School produces outstanding students who are independent learners, thinkers, decision-makers, and problem solvers.

Without a doubt, it is a magical place for students and their teachers!

We benefit from strong philanthropic support from trustees, parents, grandparents, past parents, and friends.  Dragon Fund gifts are targeted where they have the largest impact on the education of all of our students: professional development, technology, and financial assistance. Your gift allows our students to interact and learn with the best technology, enables our teachers to remain at the cutting edge of their profession, and helps families, that otherwise could not afford a Duke School education, to attend school.

Every annual Dragon Fund gift is a statement of support and commitment to Duke School and the kind of education we provide to our students.

Last year, we raised over $350,000 and more than 500 trustees, parents, grandparents, past parents, and friends made such a statement. We ask you to join them.

If you are associated with a company that matches gifts, your gift can be increased with that match. If you have any questions or wish to give securities, please contact the Development Office.

Please join our Duke School community in giving to the 2022-23 Dragon Fund!
