Triangle Community Foundation

At Triangle Community Foundation we work with dedicated donors and strong nonprofits to guide gifts in a strategic way that fills in gaps, reduces inequities, and solves the region’s most pressing issues. 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 important needs, and shape a brighter future for generations to come. **OUR VISION** **A vibrant Triangle that works together to ensure everyone thrives.** **OUR MISSION** **We inspire and mobilize giving, leadership, and action.** **Our Values** **COMMUNITY** We call the Triangle home and honor the diverse strengths, needs, voices, and backgrounds of all people who live here, encouraging collaboration, collective giving, and a sense of belonging for positive change. **EQUITY** We desire for all living in the Triangle to participate, prosper, and reach their full potential, and we work collaboratively to create equitable opportunities for all people in our region. **LEADERSHIP** Deeply ingrained in the Triangle’s nonprofit and philanthropic landscape since 1983, we embrace our role as convener and connector to mobilize impactful giving for our region. **CURIOSITY** We listen and learn from people with lived experience and research trends before proposing solutions or deploying resources. **LEGACY** We are committed to cultivating long-term relationships with all our partners. We honor the gifts left by visionary and forward-thinking donors and encourage multi-generational giving
