Anita Brown Named New Director of Major Gifts

Anita Brown has joined the Nicholas School as director of major gifts. Brown comes to the school after serving 17 years at Duke, most recently holding the position of senior director of development at Duke Law School. During her Law School tenure, Brown helped plan and direct two successful capital campaigns, the latest of which topped the $55 million goal in June of this year.

She holds a bachelor of arts degree in economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she graduated with highest distinction and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

“Anita has a great deal of experience in helping donors make the gift they want to make, but might not know how to structure,” said Sally Kleberg, chair of the school’s capital campaign. “I encourage anyone who wants to maximize income and/or tax benefits while making a gift to the school to talk with Anita.”
