TRC empowers youth to shape a stronger and more connected community through education, leadership, and resilience. This fall, TRC will launch our most ambitious fundraising effort yet — a $150,000 Year-End Matching Campaign running until December 31, 2025. A generous group of donors has pledged to match every dollar raised, doubling the impact of every contribution up to $150,000. If successful, we will raise $300,000 to sustain and grow TRC’s youth leadership, education, and mental health programs in 2026.

Use of Funds

Your contributions will directly support TRC’s core programming, including:

Education & Academic Support – Free tutoring, academic workshops, and SAT/ACT prep. A gift of $250 funds five hours of one-on-one tutoring for a student.
Mental Health Resources – Individual counseling, resilience workshops, and expanded care. A gift of $500 provides four counseling sessions for a student in need.
Youth Leadership Development – Paid internships, coaching, and mentorship for youth. A gift of $1,000 provides a month-long paid internship for a youth leader.
Changemaker Experiences – Stipends, leadership summits, and community events. A gift of $5,000 sponsors one student’s full participation in the Changemakers program, including stipends, leadership training, and a community project.

Call to Action

When you give to TRC this fall, you partner with youth to shape thriving communities. Every dollar you contribute through December 31, 2025 is matched one to one up to $150,000, unlocking a total of $300,000 to fuel youth leadership, education, and mental health supports in the year ahead. Your gift creates safe spaces to belong, paid opportunities to lead, and practical tools for students to learn and thrive.

Make a one-time gift or become a monthly donor so your impact continues all year. Monthly donors help TRC plan with confidence and keep counseling hours, tutoring, and leadership stipends steady for students who rely on them. If you give through a donor-advised fund, stock, or corporate program, your support still qualifies for the match and helps us reach the full $300,000.

You can multiply your impact by inviting others to join you. Share the campaign with friends, family, and colleagues. Ask your employer about matching gifts or workplace giving. Introduce TRC to a corporate or foundation contact that cares about youth, education, and mental wellness. Every introduction and every share helps us reach students who are ready to lead.

Give today so more young people can be seen, supported, and given real opportunities to lead. Together we can meet the match, strengthen belonging and purpose, and build a stronger, more connected Wake County in 2026.
