Field Gift Provides Flexible Funding

Marshall Field VNicholas School Board of Visitors' member Marshall Field V and his wife, Jamee, parents of Duke undergraduate Abigail B. Field T'02, recently made a $100,000 unrestricted gift for the Nicholas School campaign. Unrestricted gifts provide a pool of funds that are not restricted to specific program uses or departments. Because donors do not designate these gifts for a specific project or department, the school uses these funds to support its top priorities or to provide seed money for a variety of new initiatives.

Unrestricted gifts are so vital to the Nicholas School's mission that they are often described as the greatest gift a donor can make. Marshall Field's gift will support the Christensen Scholarship Endowment and the annual fund, which serves as the school's most flexible funding source, providing resources for innovative teaching grants, research start-up, travel for students and faculty, undergraduate scholarships, and enhanced computer capabilities.
