FISCAL Year-End Deadlines
With the approach of the end of the fiscal year, please see the table below for fiscal year 2026 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.
Fiscal year 2026 gifts and pledges delivered by these deadlines will be recorded and posted in DADD by the close of business on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at which time we will stop processing for fiscal year 2026. We will begin processing for fiscal year 2027 on Wednesday, July 8, 2026.
