Durham Academy Fund
Our highest giving priority year after year is the Durham Academy Fund. This effort ensures students an unparalleled experience in academics, athletics, arts and all areas of pursuit. Student-teacher relationships are the heart of the school, and the DA Fund fuels every facet of the DA experience for every student and every faculty member, every day.
A gift to the DA Fund is the single most important way to support Durham Academy and immediately impacts the school's areas of greatest need. All gifts to Durham Academy are tax-deductible.
