Doris Duke Foundation

**Mission** **Building a more creative, equitable and sustainable future** The mission of the Doris Duke Foundation is to build a more creative, equitable and sustainable future. We work across three areas: Arts & Culture; Nature; and Health & Well-being. We believe that the challenges of today won’t be solved by the solutions of the past. In the spirit of Doris Duke, we seek to identify, enable and support those who dare differently—pursuing bold solutions to some of society’s most intractable problems. The following values show up in our work and how we approach it: Integrity; Excellence; Openness & Imagination; Collaboration; Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
