Building a more creative, equitable and sustainable future
Our Mission
The mission of the Doris Duke Foundation (DDF) is to build a more creative, equitable and sustainable future by investing in artists and the performing arts, environmental conservation, medical research, child well-being and greater mutual understanding among diverse communities.
DDF’s mission, grantmaking programs and centers are guided by Doris Duke’s will. Learn more about Doris Duke’s life and legacy as well as the history of the Doris Duke Foundation.
The Doris Duke Foundation currently operates five national grantmaking programs:
- The Performing Arts Program supports performing artists with the creation and public performance of their work, with a particular focus on contemporary dance, jazz and theater artists.
- The Medical Research Program strives to advance the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases by strengthening and supporting clinical research.
- The Environment Program seeks to ensure a thriving, resilient environment for wildlife and people, and to foster an inclusive, effective conservation movement.
- The Child Well-being Program aims to promote children’s healthy development and protect them from abuse and neglect.
- The Building Bridges Program works with U.S. Muslims to increase mutual understanding and well-being among diverse populations for the benefit of building stronger, inclusive communities.
From time to time, the foundation also undertakes special initiatives in pursuit of its mission. For example, in the fall of 2007, DDF launched the African Health Initiative with the goal of strengthening health systems in sub-Saharan Africa.
