3-peat: University breaks donations record yet again | The Chronicle

3-peat: University breaks donations record yet again | The Chronicle: "Duke received $478.3 million in private donations during the 2014-15 fiscal year—setting a new record for highest total contributions for the third year in a row.

Some of the largest philanthropic gifts included a $20 million grant given to the Duke Global Health Institute from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to address diseases like HIV/AIDS and cancer, along with a $13 million contribution to the athletics department from Steve Brooks, Trinity '70 and president and CEO of the Phoenix American Insurance Group. As a result of Brooks' donation, the football field at Wallace Wade Stadium was renamed Brooks Field."
