Connect With Us!
While we'd love to meet with every nonprofit serving our four-county geographic area, we are not able to say "yes" to all requests for meetings. But we do host monthly office hours where we invite staff working in nonprofits serving the Triangle (Chatham, Durham, Orange, and Wake counties) to hear more about how funding works at Triangle Community Foundation, meet some of the staff on our team, and answer any questions you may have relevant to your organization. Monthly office hours will be held the third Tuesday of each month at 3:00pm. Registration is required to join. We recommend only registering for/attending one session, as the same information will be provided at each session.
