Roger Read Resource Center

Named for CNE's first Board Chair, the Roger Read Resource Center is both a physical and a virtual source for nonprofit organizations to access information and to find the correct answers to their nonprofit management questions.

The Roger Read Resource Center includes a library of over 800 books, periodicals, and other resources in which you will find information on the latest hot topics in the nonrprofit field. Do you need to locate a community resource but do not know where to turn? We have a print version of the Directory of Health and Human Services for Summit County for use, among many other print directories. Search the CNE library using the search box below.

The Resource Center is proud to be a Foundation Center Cooperating Collection in which one of the many perks include the searchable database of grantmakers through the Foundation Directory Online.

Featured Book of the Month Minimize
Leap of Reason
Mario Morino, McKinsey & Company

Mario Morino, McKinsey & Company, and a host of notable nonprofit leaders have collaborated on a new book that presents a candid indictment of the state of “outcomes assessment” in the social sector. “We funders need to help our grantees define, create, and use the information they need to be disciplined managers,” says Morino, “rather than foisting unfunded, often simplistic, self-serving mandates on our grantees.”

Leap of Reason: Managing to Outcomes in an Era of Scarcity, available at leapofreason.org, presents an impassioned plea and logical plan for meeting the difficult challenges of our times with management approaches that complement heart with head, passion with information.
