Our Areas of Support

Arts and Culture
Accessible arts and culture are key contributors to a vibrant, growing community. Arts and culture inspire, bring people together, and provide daily demonstrations and reminders of the joys of living in a diverse community.

Education
Education is any community’s strongest tool for helping people to grow, improve their lives, and thrive. And when both children and adults have access to high-quality education — both formal and informal — the whole community thrives.

Health
Access to quality services for promoting and preserving mental and physical health is fundamentally important to realizing a greater Durham area where people’s lives are enriched and improved. And when quality health care is also paired with activities that increase people’s own efforts at protecting health, you have a prescription for long-term community vigor.

Human Services
Human Services programs are critically important for helping people fulfill core human needs — accomplishing basic life skills, envisioning and achieving success for themselves and their families, and accessing support during challenging life moments. We all have need of assistance from time to time, so it’s important to broadly aid human services organizations in the Durham area.
