Foundation Center's Cooperating Collection

The Foundation Center's Cooperating Collection

The Center for Nonprofit Excellence is proud to be a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center, the only national nonprofit organization that organizes and disseminates information on foundation and corporate philanthropy.

As a member of this nationwide network, the Center for Nonprofit Excellence is now able to provide visitors with free public access to grantmaker directories, books on fundraising and nonprofit management, and the Foundation Center's Foundation Directory Online (FDO). Updated weekly, the FDO contains the most comprehensive and accurate information available on U.S. grantmakers and their funding activities.

The addition of the Foundation Center’s print and electronic resources complements CNE's library of over 800 books, periodicals, and other resources related to nonprofit management, governance and operations.

All resources are available for free at the Center for Nonprofit Excellence’s Roger Read Resource Center.
