Mary Duke Biddle Foundation

The primary purpose of The Mary Duke Biddle Foundation is to further and extend Mrs.Biddle's life-long interests in religious, educational, and charitable activities in New York City and the state of North Carolina. North Carolina was Mary Duke Biddle's home state. Her family's history and legacy were inextricably linked to Durham County and Duke University, but also to the commercial, educational, and social networks that spread across the state. Those connections have deepened and expanded over time, as reflected in the range of grants that the Foundation makes to support activities she held dear. More info.

Duke Youth Program

Duke Youth Programs is a part of Duke University Continuing Studies and has provided summer academic enrichment for academically motivated youth for over 20 years. All programs seek to engage learners in innovative, interactive, transformative learning experiences. Co-curricular social and recreational activities are carefully planned and delivered to complement the instructional day. The camp “learning community” approaches learning as a shared responsibility among students, instructors, and counselors. More Info.
