Supports Triangle-region nonprofits advancing access to safe, affordable housing and innovative solutions to local housing challenges.

--- ## Description The program aims to address the critical issue of housing affordability in North Carolina's Triangle region (Wake, Durham, Orange, and Chatham counties). It supports nonprofit organizations working across the housing continuum, including supply, subsidy, stability, and systems approaches. The initiative seeks to increase access to safe, affordable, and stable housing, encourage investment in affordable housing development, promote zoning reforms, and support policies that help low- and moderate-income families achieve homeownership. Grants can be used for general operations or specific initiatives aligned with program goals. --- ## Due Dates - March 2027 (anticipated/projected full application deadline) *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Typical award: $25,000 (one-year general operating support) - Approximately 10–15 awards per cycle - Funding supports general operations or targeted housing affordability initiatives --- ## Eligibility - Nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organizations based in and serving Wake, Durham, Orange, or Chatham counties, NC - Minimum three-year track record addressing housing affordability in the Triangle region - Must comply with the Foundation’s non-discrimination policy - Only one application per organization per cycle --- ## Application Process - Applications are submitted via the [Triangle Community Foundation’s grant portal](https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=trianglecf) - New users must create an account; organizations using a fiscal sponsor should contact the Foundation before registering - Application requires evidence of alignment with program goals, community engagement, financial transparency, and a proven track record - Info sessions and applicant tutorials are available ([see links below](#external-links)) --- ## Additional Information - The Foundation seeks a diverse grantee cohort representing different housing affordability strategies and all four Triangle counties - Evaluation criteria include alignment with program goals, demonstrated impact, commitment to equity, and organizational financial health - General operating support is prioritized to enable flexible, sustainable impact --- ## External Links - [Program Page: Housing Affordability Grant Program](https://trianglecf.org/award/our-impact-housing-affordability) - [Strategic Initiative: Housing Affordability](https://trianglecf.org/impact/housingaffordability/) - [Grant Portal (Apply Here)](https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=trianglecf) - [Applicant Tutorial](https://support.foundant.com/hc/en-us/articles/4479853059991-GLM-Applicant-Tutorial) - [Spring 2025 Info Session Webinar Recording](https://trianglecf-org.zoom.us/rec/play/3aibc2jniHGy4pzq6V3z28NL3k9dhCAAmCwF9U7l-cS6OFREYxA863imVBdMS1XT3PlIKGmV9WTbn2C9.5g4rm5VJZIuCoYjs?accessLevel=meeting&canPlayFromShare=true&from=share_recording_detail&startTime=1740592471000&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ftrianglecf-org.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2Fen1G2KXV5oVLgzdEpCuta6rDxvbs2LgFD-NrfLHmb327ln-7oaSvQvkDOkiNUjnN.79YpqtELKhHjm8p9%3FstartTime%3D1740592471000) - [Grants for Nonprofits Overview](https://trianglecf.org/apply/grants-for-nonprofits/) --- ## Contact Information | Purpose | Contact Details | |-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------| | General Inquiries | [nonprofitservices@trianglecf.org](mailto:nonprofitservices@trianglecf.org) | | Foundation Main Line | (919) 474-8370 | | Online Contact Form | [Contact Page](https://trianglecf.org/contact/) |
