Figuring out how to help can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Activate Good invites people of all ages in our community to join us on a journey of learning, action, and community-building to become agents of positive change in the Triangle. 

Our projects and programs provide individuals and groups, youth and families, and companies meaningful opportunities to take action to meet important local needs — from food insecurity, to homelessness, to education and more.

Activate Good is a 501c3 tax-exempt nonprofit based founded in 2005. We envision a world in which all people realize and act on their power to improve their communities.

Activate Good is currently evolving, in part due to the needs of the community that emerged resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. New Board Members will be a part of this evolution! Board Members joining for the term starting January 1, 2024 will be part of our journey to:

• Transition from our past “Working Board” culture to a “Governing Board” format that better matches our organization’s current structure and needs.
• Secure needed funds and resources to sustain and grow our programs and capacity.
• Grow our reach to impact thousands of Triangle residents!

Over the past ten years, we’ve tracked over 100,000 volunteer connections to hundreds of area causes, creating a value of over $7 Million in volunteer service to our community. You can learn more about Activate Good on our website – including Civic 50, eLOVEate Schools, Youth Volunteer Corps, Annual Days of Service, and more programming. Plus, we invite you to explore more about some of our key impacts on our Impact Page.
