Membership Overview
Iron Dukes membership begins with a minimum annual gift of $120 to the fund of your choice. Members are encouraged to make a pledge and may fulfill their commitment through convenient installments throughout the fiscal year, which runs from July 1 through June 25. All pledges for the 2026-27 membership year must be paid in full by June 25, 2027.
Your support through gifts to the Iron Dukes directly strengthens Duke Athletics by providing critical resources for scholarships, facilities, and the day-to-day needs of Duke’s 27 varsity programs. Every gift helps ensure Duke student-athletes have the opportunity to excel in competition, in the classroom, in the community, and in life.
Ways to Give
Gifts may be made online, by phone, or by mail. To contribute by check, please make checks payable to Duke University and mail to 110 Whitford Drive, Box 90542, Durham, NC 27708.
For gifts of stock, donor-advised funds, IRA distributions, or other transfer methods, please contact (919) 613-7575 for assistance.
Multi-Year Pledges
Multi-year pledges give programs steady support and can improve your Iron Dukes priority. Donors who commit to a five-year pledge, with a minimum of $1,250 per year, or who include Duke Athletics in their estate plans may receive additional lifetime giving credit.
Matching Gifts
Many employers match charitable gifts and may double your impact. To request a match, file a matching gift claim with your employer. Matching gifts do not count toward required contributions for Men’s Basketball or Football season ticket rights.
Donor-Advised Funds and Private Foundations
Gifts from donor-advised funds and private foundations may support Duke Athletics. Federal rules prevent using these gifts for contributions that confer the right to purchase season tickets. Duke may accept such gifts but ticket purchase rights will not be granted.
Planned and Deferred Giving
Deferred gifts such as bequests and retirement plan gifts help shape Duke’s long-term future. Including Duke Athletics in your estate plans may also affect your Iron Dukes priority. Contact us if you have included Duke in your plans or if you want help making a planned gift.
Membership and Season Ticket Information
Members who are interested in season tickets for men’s basketball in Cameron Indoor Stadium or football in Blue Devil Tower must make annual contributions to the Iron Dukes Annual Fund at levels set by Duke Athletics. Gifts that directly or indirectly provide seating rights are not tax deductible. Gifts from donor-advised funds, private foundations, employer matching programs, IRA charitable rollovers, and appreciated securities do not satisfy required contributions tied to ticket purchase rights.
