North Carolina Community Shares is a statewide federation of over thirty non-profit, community-based organizations, dedicated to working for a more progressive North Carolina. Our mission is to raise money for social justice work through workplace giving or payroll deduction programs. Member organizations are working to build communities where people are responsible for their own lives, promoting and advancing community sustainability; social equity; economic prosperity; and access to justice.
