- 2. Why are you here?
- 14. “ You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.” - Woodrow Wilson

- Triangle Community Foundation was founded 27 years ago and makes over $14 million in grants each year to nonprofit organizations throughout our region, state, and world. This grantmaking primarily takes place in two ways – (1) through donor-advised funds and (2) through the Community Grantmaking Program. Over 80% of the Foundation’s grantmaking takes place through our Donor-Advised Funds grantmaking program. Donor-advised funds are accounts that individuals, families, or businesses open here at the Foundation. These fundholders then work with the Foundation’s donor-services staff to make recommendations as to where grants from their accounts should go. The Foundation does not accept proposals for grants from donor-advised funds. Instead, we ask that nonprofit organizations stay in touch with us via email, in-person meetings, and events to inform us about funding needs and opportunities. We then share information about your organization with fundholders, as appropriate. This is an on-going, rolling process. Grants from donor-advised funds are processed every Friday. Grants from donor-advised funds are much more like gifts from individual donors then they are like grants from private or corporate foundations.
