    Summary

    The mission of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation is to improve the quality of people's lives through grants supporting the performing arts, environmental conservation, medical research and child well-being, and through preservation of the cultural and environmental legacy of Doris Duke's properties.


    DDCF awards grants in four program areas:

    • The Arts Program supports performing artists with the creation and public performance of their work.
    • The Environment Program supports efforts that enable communities to protect and manage wildlife habitat and create efficient built environments.
    • The Medical Research Program seeks to contribute to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease by strengthening and supporting clinical research.
    • The Child Well-Being Program seeks to promote children's healthy development and protect them from abuse and neglect.

    In the fall of 2007, DDCF also launched the African Health Initiative, with the goal of strengthening health systems in sub-Saharan Africa.


    The Building Bridges Program, whose mission is to advance relationships and increase understanding between Muslim and non-Muslim communities for mutual well-being, is funded through the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art and is headquartered in DDCF's offices in New York.
