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.
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.
We follow the wisdom and leadership of those closest to the challenges, co-designing solutions for sustainable change.
We work to break down barriers and expand access to enriching connections and resources.
We envision a future defined by shared prosperity. We imagine and act with creativity and courage to create a region where all community members thrive.
Our values represent how we show up in every partnership, every program, every decision.
