We invest in big ideas, convene the right partners, and amplify what works to drive lasting change across the Greater Triangle.
We strategically fund high-impact, community-led solutions in key areas, such as workforce development, housing stability, food access, healthcare, youth development, and emergency response.
We prioritize the people and communities most impacted by poverty and racism. We center organizations led by women and leaders of color who approach their work with a root cause and racial equity analysis. This is imperative for strengthening a nonprofit and community ecosystem that can advance prosperity and self-determination. In pursuit of that goal, we also recognize that crises and the everyday symptoms of poverty and racism require stabilization efforts to ensure safety, basic necessities, and opportunity for all. We engage donors and direct funds to support community-driven solutions in the following ways:
“United Way Greater Triangle is an incredible funder of our programs. That helps us achieve our mission of building home, community, and hope.”
Jennifer Player, President & CEO, Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, NC

We elevate the stories and successes of our community partners, using our platform to increase awareness, attract investment, and drive action.
We believe in the power of stories to draw us closer to people we don’t know and transform our understanding of what it takes for everyone to thrive. While we center the lives of the people most impacted by the problems we seek to address, we also highlight the journeys of community stakeholders, partners, and donors narrating the variety of roles necessary to achieve our collective vision. We engage donors and direct funds to support community-driven solutions in the following ways:
“United Way Greater Triangle has been an amazing partner in helping us amplify our work to others so we can get the support we need to do this work every day. Not only have they helped with funding, but they’re helping us get our message out, which is so important.”
Michelle Old, Founder & CEO, Diaper Bank of NC
From funding and leadership development to systems change and corporate partnerships—we go beyond grants to move the region forward.
