LGBT Center of Raleigh
The Triangle
Triangle Community Works (TCW) was founded as Coalition 807 in 1994, when several smaller organizations decided to work together to establish support and resources to help them serve the Research Triangle Region of North Carolina.
The dedicated volunteers who served this community are greatly appreciated and will not be forgotten for their dedication to keeping these important programs and services alive for so many years.
Following the name change from Coalition 807 to Triangle Community Works, the Board of Directors of TCW decided to support the efforts of the nascent LGBT Center of Raleigh, as it had been part of their mission to form a community center in the Triangle. The committee to form a center had many open community discussions in the months leading up to January of 2008, but it was then, with the formation of the Governance Team and the support of the Triangle Community Works Board, that the committee was able to reorganize and start building momentum toward forming the desired center.
As the Center Board was formed and the organization really started to take shape, TCW supported the Center with a fiscal sponsorship and use of meeting space. When the Center was formally recognized, TCW continued to work with the Center as a strategic partner. The two organizations shared office space to lower costs until the formal merger that took place in July of 2010.
