How To Help
Support our Nonprofit Organization
The Duke Mansion is protected as a nonprofit with all proceeds being used to preserve and protect this community treasure. The Mansion celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2015 and is one of Charlotte’s landmark homes.
Supporters and guests of The Duke Mansion are dedicated to providing critical resources to help ensure that this home and all of the important history it represents remain a part of Charlotte for generations to come. There are two membership groups that provide critical support to The Duke Mansion and the other part of our nonprofit organization, The Lee Institute. The Lee Institute is the active programming arm of the combined nonprofit. To learn more about the important and innovative work of The Lee Institute, click here.
