Make a difference by giving back to the Nicholas School
Although progress is being made to safeguard our planet and precious natural resources, we still have a long way to go. That’s why we need informed and skilled leaders who can advance the solutions we so urgently need to protect our environment, health, and the well-being of future generations.
Whether you’re providing unrestricted support through the Nicholas School Annual Fund or endowing a professorship or program, you play a critical role in ensuring a high level of valuable educational opportunities for our students. By contributing to the Nicholas School, you are making possible the programs, learning opportunities, and inspiring experiences that will turn today’s students into tomorrow’s changemakers.

Business & Environment
The Nicholas School’s Business & Environment Program prepares future leaders to move environmental solutions from concept to reality. By leveraging its deep environmental expertise, as well as partnerships across the university, the school is able to evaluate new ideas, provide high-touch support, and help launch new enterprises that can make a profit while benefiting people and the planet.
Undergraduate Research Scholars
Now, more than ever, we need to prepare our best and brightest students to face pressing environmental issues head-on. The Undergraduate Research Scholars Program provides Duke undergrads with faculty-mentored hands-on research experience to give them the tools, knowledge, experience, and confidence they need to make a real difference in our world.
