2026 MIGHTY GIVEBACK IMPACT PARTNERS
Band Together’s mission is simple: connecting the community to nonprofits through the power of live music.
Each year, we bring that mission to life by shining a spotlight on organizations whose work reflects the themes guiding our selection process. This year, those themes are Music and Community…two forces that bring people together and create lasting change.
Our 2026 Impact Partners embody those themes in powerful ways.
They empower young people to discover confidence and belonging through music.
They connect our neighbors experiencing homelessness to housing, healthcare, and mental health support.
They unite communities to ensure families have reliable access to healthy food.
Different approaches. Our shared purpose.
Because when music and community come together, impact follows.

CONNECT IN A WHOLE NEW WAY
Partnership philanthropy is at the heart of how Band Together creates lasting impact. Each year, we partner with local nonprofits in a deep, year-long collaboration designed to strengthen fundraising, build organizational capacity, and amplify awareness for their mission. By combining resources, expertise, and community support, we help our partners grow sustainably and extend their reach across the Triangle. While our approach has evolved over time, partnership has always been central to how we operate.
Each year, we listen to our community to identify a critical area of need across the Triangle. We then select local nonprofit organizations working to strengthen our region in that space. The needs facing our community are complex, and by partnering with multiple organizations each year, we can support solutions that reflect the multifaceted nature of the work.
Our nonprofit selection process is thoughtful and community-driven, carefully evaluating each organization’s goals, opportunities, sustainability, and potential for impact. We are intentional about minimizing bias and incorporating feedback from a diverse group of community leaders. Once selected, partners embark on a collaborative journey that extends far beyond a single event — building momentum, visibility, and long-term support for their work.
