How to Start Giving
Join hundreds of committed citizens who are working with Triangle Community Foundation to create innovative solutions to the most challenging problems in our region and beyond. We will help you create an individualized philanthropic fund designed around your charitable goals and your operating style.

You may establish a fund to support the community’s greatest areas of need by participating with other fundholders in our Community Grantmaking Program, a broad field of interest, or specific charitable organizations or programs.

Or you may create a donor-advised fund, which gives you the power to recommend grants to organizations important to you and your family. By partnering with Triangle Community Foundation, you will:
  • Benefit from nearly 25 years of experience in identifying community needs, and target your resources for greatest impact.

  • Receive personalized service, professional advice and competitive investment options.  

  • Have geographic flexibility to impact lives locally and/or internationally.

  • Create a legacy that will benefit the community for years to come.

  • Enjoy the highest level of tax benefits.

  • Have flexibility and simplicity as the Foundation can manage virtually any gift type through a simple governing document.

  • Avoid the paperwork, time and expense of running your own private foundation. (Please refer to our Resources page for a comparison chart of Donor-Advised Funds, Supporting Organizations and Private Foundations).
Whatever your philanthropic dream, Triangle Community Foundation will work with you to create a giving program that is customized to your passions, your assets and your personal and financial goals.
