Description
The Doris Duke Foundation provides funding to address significant needs and gaps in the arts, U.S. Muslim storytelling, environmental resilience, child well-being, and medical research. The foundation’s approach is guided by deep research and strategic philanthropy, with a mix of invitation-only, regranting, open-call, and unsolicited funding opportunities. While most grants are awarded by invitation or through competitive calls, U.S.-based nonprofit organizations may submit unsolicited letters of inquiry (LOIs) to propose projects that align with the foundation’s program goals. The foundation does not fund individuals directly, but individual artists may be eligible for support through regranting or open-call programs.
