Evidence-based models don’t yet exist for every issue that families and children face. We’re committed to developing new approaches alongside our partners. What does this look like? Our latest Child & Family Well-Being newsletter highlights The Relatives, an agency that provides education and job training to young adults formerly in foster care and experiencing homelessness. Nearly 80% of young adults in the program raised their income by 10% within a year and 90% found stable housing.

关于我们
Since 1924, The Duke Endowment has worked to help people and strengthen communities in North Carolina and South Carolina by nurturing children, promoting health, educating minds and enriching spirits. Fulfilling a Legacy Located in Charlotte, N.C., the Endowment seeks to fulfill the visionary genius and innovative legacy of James Buchanan Duke, one of the great industrialists and philanthropists of the 20th century. Mr. Duke established the Endowment in 1924 with $40 million. In 1925, it was expanded with an additional $67 million from his estate. Adjusted for present value, Mr. Duke's total gifts would amount to more than $1.4 billion today. Governed by a board of trustees, Endowment staff conduct grantmaking according to guidelines in Mr. Duke's original Indenture of Trust, a legal document that remains relevant and timely after nearly 90 years. Our Work The Endowment has awarded nearly $3.6 billion in grants since its inception, including over $1.5 billion to Duke University. With assets of $3.35 billion in 2015, the Endowment is one of the nation's largest 501(c)(3) private foundations. Today, almost 82 percent of our total spending goes to grantmaking. Financial information is available on our web site or by contacting us.

“If my grandmother did not adopt me…I’d have been on the streets, in jail, or my life would have been taken away.” – Carloe, Winston-Salem More than 150,000 children in the Carolinas live with relatives or supportive adults when their parents are unable to care for them. These “kin caregivers” provide greater stability and fewer placement disruptions. Hear from our Child & Family Well-Being team about what’s needed to advance kinship care: https://bit.ly/4bGosjz #Committed2Carolinas #TheDukeEndowment #DukeEndowment
