United Way Greater Triangle

We convene, invest in, and amplify community-driven solutions so everyone in the Triangle can thrive.

The Greater Triangle is growing fast, and that growth hasn’t reached every household. The income gap between Triangle-born residents and newcomers has grown 68% since 2014 and now exceeds $25,000 per year. ¹

The resources to close that gap already exist. What’s needed is an organization that can find where the highest-impact opportunities live, activate the right people around them, and invest in solutions that compound over time.

United Way of Greater Triangle has been building exactly that for more than 80 years.

Through decades of growth, change, and challenge, we’ve built trust across every sector of this region, relationships that reach from corporate boardrooms to community living rooms across Wake, Durham, Orange, and Johnston counties.

The work has sharpened over time, from broad-based giving campaigns to focused investments in the organizations and systems that actually move families forward.

With UWGT, $1 + $1 doesn’t equal $2. It equals $3. The difference is what coordination, trust, and decades of relationships produce when they’re put to work. ¹ Source: UWGT analysis of U.S. Census Bureau ACS data, 2014-2023.
