A grassroots organization providing assistance to Durhamites in need.

Durham Neighbors believes in person-to-person giving. Our philosophy is that the most effective assistance happens directly. The closer we can get to the end recipient, the more impactful, swift and meaningful the assistance.

100% of donated funds are redistributed to members: Whatever you’re able to donate goes directly to a Durham Neighbor member (aka a resident of Durham) who’s currently experiencing need. There’s no overhead, there’s no middle man—there’s just the collective power of Durhamites helping Durhamites cover utility bills, diapers, groceries, medication costs, and so much more.

As of October 2023, Durham Neighbors has closed due to lack of sustainable funds. We thank all of our donors and neighbors for participating.
