Partnership Philanthropy

Partnership philanthropy is when two organizations come together to combine forces for the good of the community. Through our partnerships, we help our nonprofits realize their full potential. We share best practices and motivate them to reach their biggest dreams so we can help more people in our community, sustainably.

Each year, Band Together selects one or more different nonprofits in our area to partner with and improve our community. We strive to make the Triangle and our state the best place to live, work, play and raise a family… for everyone.

Shortly after our founding in 2001, we decided to focus our efforts on social causes in our community. Through the generous support of corporate and individual sponsors, the hard work of our nearly 100% volunteer family, and our carefully selected nonprofit partnerships, we’ve raised more than $14 million since we started.

Our annual nonprofit selection is a detailed and thorough process that vets the needs, goals, opportunities, sustainability, and financials of potential 501(c)3 organizations who apply. Once selected, partners embark on a more than 1-year collaboration to strengthen fundraising, build organizational capacity and raise brand awareness.
