“Stewardship is inherently an expression of
devotion to God, from whom all blessings flow.”

| — Michael O’Hurley-Pitts |
Contributions to the Chapel help to preserve the ministry and beauty
of Duke Chapel for future generations. Ministry, which includes
the spoken word, service to others, choral enrichment, and community
involvement grows from a solid financial foundation. To preserve
this center of comfort, beauty, peace, challenge and blessing and
to keep the Chapel’s programs and ministry vital, your contribution
to one or more of these funds is greatly appreciated.
Our current priorities include the following:
- Completion of million dollar endowment for the Directorship
of Chapel
Music
Chapel endowments often are established to honor or pay memorial
tribute to individuals. Additionally, donors may contribute
to any existing endowment or fund, such as those supporting the Chapel’s
ministry and building, the music programs, campus ministry, and
student foreign mission work.
You may designate your interest in one of the priorities listed
above, or look at the lists of Chapel funds, endowments, and scholarships.
