Nonprofit Resources

In the Business and Reference Center’s physical collection, you will find:

  • Current print reference directories and resources
  • Books on all facets of nonprofit start-up and operation
  • In-library access to valuable databases, like Candid ⬇️

Candid connects those searching for nonprofits and nonprofits looking for support from funders. By offering our trusted tools at community locations, patrons can easily identify nonprofits to support, locate vital services, get the information they need to find grants and connect with funders to make a difference in their community.

Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO) is the statewide membership organization serving and advancing the charitable nonprofit sector through leadership, advocacy, education and other services in order to improve the overall quality of life in Pennsylvania. PANO helps charities become more efficient and effective through collaboration, cooperation and the sharing of resources and information.

We also have an extensive nonprofit information collection. Search our Online Catalog for specific topics of interest. Nonprofit titles located in the BRC will appear with “Business & Reference Center” as the location and “Nonprofit Coll” after the call number. Online e-reserves for non-reference titles, including those held by other libraries in the system can be placed on hold by following the instructions on the online catalog search screen.
