Generous Alumnus Doubles Your Gift !

With a small endowment and a young alumni constituency, Duke TIP must rely on the annual financial support of generous alumni, parents, friends, foundations and corporations. Gifts of all levels to the Friends of Duke TIP annual fund by June 30, 2009 play an invaluable role in providing financial assistance to academically-qualified deserving students who would not be able to benefit from our educational programs, talent searches, and educational products. Your gift helps future TIPsters have one of the best experiences of their lives!

If you wish to provide Duke TIP with a gift, you may do so online via the Duke University secure giving site. If you wish to send a contribution by mail please download and print the Annual Giving Form
