Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership at a Glance

Duke is engaged in boosting student achievement in the public schools, supporting youth programming and stabilizing neighborhoods by encouraging home ownership and grass-roots leadership throughout the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership.

Duke has raised more than $12 million to support this effort, concentrating its resources on priorities identified by residents. Duke operates an Office of Community Affairs, which coordinates the Neighborhood Partnership and Duke's connections with local public schools, neighborhoods and the local government.
