The mission of the Doris Duke Foundation (DDF) is to build a more creative, equitable and sustainable future by investing in artists and the performing arts, environmental conservation, medical research, child well-being and greater mutual understanding among diverse communities.
The Doris Duke Foundation operates Duke Farms and Shangri La, two centers that serve the public directly, and funds Rough Point, which is operated by the Newport Restoration Foundation. These properties, all former residences that belonged to Doris Duke, now serve the public in ways that extend her legacy and advance the DDF mission. For more information, visit www.dorisduke.org.
