You may also wish to contact one of the six main collections or one of the local cooperating collections of The Foundation Center (based in New York). The Foundation Center is a resource for non-profits and others to research the foundation world. There are numerous cooperating collections in public libraries, academic libraries, and other organizations throughout the U.S. The main website is www.foundationcenter.org . They can refer you to numerous resources on non-profits - they even have a resource guide on "starting a non-profit."

If you have questions, you can e-mail me back and they also have an online reference service on their website.
