In-kind Donations

Thank you for your interest in donating an auction item to the Duke Lemur Center! Your in-kind donation will be considered as an auction item or as part of an auction package to raise funds for the Lemur Center through our annual fall gala. Any items that we are unable to use during the event may be used during the following year as drawing items or door prizes at Lemur Center events, or as special incentives and awards for the Duke Lemur Center’s hard-working volunteers, interns, students, and animal care and education staff.

Donors of items with an estimated value of $500 or more may be recognized as sponsors on the sponsorship page of our website.

Please complete the form below to register your item/items. Thank you for your help in this very special way!

If you do not receive a confirmation email following submission of your form, please notify mary.paisley@duke.edu.

Item Description

Item Delivery (choose one):

I will schedule a time to drop off the item during the DLC gift shop's curbside service hours: Tuesday-Saturday from 1:00-3:00 p.m. Please call at least a day prior to your delivery to let them know you're coming and if your item is heavy or fragile: (919) 401-7240. We appreciate your consideration of delivering larger items during the week prior to the event, as our storage space is limited.

I will mail the item to Gala Auction, Duke Lemur Center, 3705 Erwin Road, Durham, NC 27705. Don't forget to include your email confirmation and sign it if you want a tax receipt from Duke!

I live in the Triangle area and would appreciate someone scheduling a time to pick up the item.

No delivery is needed. Please print a gift certificate on our behalf.

If you are a representative of a business and this is a corporate donation for which you would like a tax receipt from Duke, please also include your business card.

I will enclose/attach a signed copy of my item registration confirmation email so that the Duke Lemur Center can request a tax letter be sent to me by Duke University.

I do not need a tax letter.
