‘Doing Good’ drive begins Sept. 7

posted September 2nd, 2009

This year’s "Doing Good in the Neighborhood" campaign, through which faculty and staff can give directly to about 30 organizations and programs supported through the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership and Duke’s Division of Community Health, begins Sept. 7 and runs through November.

Last year, employees pledged more than $203,000 through the campaign. Unlike many charities, the campaign does not deduct administrative fees from employee contributions before passing them to Duke-supported organizations in local neighborhoods. This allows 100 percent of employee contributions to flow to the community. More details.
