Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (DDCF)
The mission of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation is to improve the quality of people`s lives through grants supporting the performing arts, environmental conservation, medical research and child well-being, and through preservation of the cultural and environmental legacy of Doris Duke`s properties. Born on November 22, 1912 in New York City, Doris Duke was the only child of James Buchanan (J.B.) Duke, a founder of the American Tobacco Company and Duke Energy Company, and his second wife, Nanaline Holt Inman Duke. When J.B. Duke died in 1925, he divided his fortune between Doris, who was then only 12 years old, and the Duke Endowment—a foundation he established to serve the people of the Carolinas. Adventurous, intelligent and independent, Doris Duke used her wealth to pursue her many interests, which included travel, the arts, historic preservation, environmental conservation, preservation of wildlife and ornamental horticulture.
