IRA Rollover
Give a tax-free gift with your IRA Rollover. A charitable IRA Rollover allows donors age 70½ or older to make annual, tax-free gifts of up to $100,000 to Duke or other qualified charities from their individual retirement accounts. Such charitable IRA rollover gifts may also count toward a donor's required minimum distribution for the year.
Deferred or Planned Gifts
Including Duke University Libraries in your estate plan may allow you to do more than you thought possible while achieving your own personal and financial goals. Find out more about your planned giving options.
Personal Property
When you give tangible personal property related to the “charitable purpose” of the Libraries, it may be eligible for a deduction of your asset's full market value. Some gifts may require appraisal or advance approval in order to be accepted. Please contact the Libraries' Development Office before making the gift to learn about its suitability and the required appraisal procedures.
Books and Other Research Materials
Donors contribute significantly to strengthening our collections through financial support and gifts of books, manuscripts, and other library materials. Library staff must evaluate potential gifts in terms of institutional value and consider whether materials support the collection development goals for a particular subject area. Find out more about donating books and other research materials.
