Making More Possible

Connecting donors and nonprofits to build a more vibrant community

Rebuilding Together of the Triangle

What We Do

At Triangle Community Foundation we connect donors and nonprofits to give everyone who calls the Triangle region home the resources and opportunity to thrive.

Founded in 1983 with an initial gift of $1,000 from Nobel Prize winner Dr. George Hitchings, today the Foundation has over 40 years of experience helping to build a more vibrant community.

Community Impact

We are experts in the local philanthropic ecosystem and work with donors to guide their giving to causes and nonprofits that make a positive difference to people who live and work in the Triangle region.
