Together, we
Activate Good

We identify community needs and mobilize people to take action.

Sparking Community Action Across the Triangle

As a nonprofit based in the Triangle, Activate Good connects people who want to help with causes that need support, bridging the gap between compassion and impact.

We identify community needs, mobilize changemakers of all ages, and provide education to help individuals and groups take meaningful action. Whether someone’s volunteering for the first time or leading a company-wide service initiative, we’re here to make it easy to get involved.

VOLUNTEER

Why We Do What We Do

We’re reimagining what it means to “help.” Volunteering is just one way to make an impact—but so is mentoring, donating, attending a workshop, or raising awareness.

It takes a wide variety of actions to spark lasting change. That’s why Activate Good is here: to invite more people in, create more pathways to participate, and amplify the ripple effects of doing good.

Our Commitments to Community

Equity & Belonging

We work to break down barriers to access and opportunity, making sure everyone feels welcomed, seen, and empowered to act.

Collaboration & Connection

Change doesn’t happen in silos. We honor the ways issues intersect, and we bring people together to co-create solutions.

Learning & Action

We’re always listening, growing, and evolving, because communities deserve organizations that show up thoughtfully and consistently.

Rooted in Local Impact

Activate Good is built by and for the Triangle. We focus on what our neighbors need—right now—and rally the support to meet those needs.
