Calendar Year-End Deadlines
With the approach of the end of the calendar year, please see table below for calendar year 2024 gift and pledge processing deadlines. Deadlines vary depending on both the type of gift and how the gift is delivered to Duke. If there are questions about these deadlines, please contact ADR by email at adrecords@duke.edu or by phone at (919) 684-2338.
Calendar year 2024 gifts and pledges delivered by these deadlines will be recorded and posted in DADD by the close of business on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at which time we will stop processing for calendar year 2024. We will begin processing for calendar year 2025 on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
Please mail gifts directly to the address below to help speed the processing and receipting of calendar year-end gifts.
