Help Blue Devils reach new heights in their research
Join the Duke Libraries community as we work together to unlock a total of $200,000 in matching support during the Reaching New Heights Challenge.
Your generosity advances the research, teaching, and public service mission of the entire university. From providing reliable access to global-oriented collections to creating cost-saving programs for students, your support helps Duke’s Libraries remain a trusted source of sound research and guidance.
Thanks to the enthusiastic generosity of the Library Advisory Board, the Reaching New Heights Spring Challenge gives our community the opportunity to work together to unlock a total of $200,000 for our libraries and the people we serve during the month of April.
Any gift made between April 1 and April 30 counts toward the challenge, so donate today!
