Triangle Community Foundation
The Triangle
At Triangle Community Foundation we connect donors and nonprofits to make more possible.
Founded in 1983 with an initial gift of $1,000 from Dr. George Hitchings, today the Foundation has over 40 years of experience helping to build a more vibrant community. By listening intently to our partners and taking a broad view, we are uniquely positioned to identify challenges, support the most pressing needs, and shape a brighter future for generations to come.
A vibrant Triangle that works together to ensure everyone thrives.
After four decades, the Foundation has the knowledge, resources, and networks to impact positive change in our region. Our leadership model is characterized by philanthropy expertise, data and research, and connections. By focusing on four intersecting strategic priority areas, we will continue to cultivate a culture of philanthropy in our region with the Foundation at the center. Watch how:
The Foundation focuses its grantmaking on four research-based impact areas - capacity building, cultural arts, education & youth, and sustainable communities. Grant cycles are annual or bi-annual, and typically support an average of 80-100 nonprofit organizations at any point in time across the four impact areas. Grantmaking programs are housed within our Fund for the Triangle , and can respond to immediate needs through specialized grant programs as they arise.
