Nonprofit Resources : Introduction

This guide provides an overview of nonprofit resources offered at CLP that will help aid in starting a 501(c)(3), grant searching and proposal writing

Introduction

Welcome to the Nonprofit Resource Center at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh! Here you will find different resources to assist you with starting your own Nonprofit.

Our main collection is housed at Main Library, at 4400 Forbes Avenue, on the Second Floor. Our circulating collection includes books on proposal writing, nonprofit management, fundraising strategies and philanthropy. You can search for titles in the catalog or browse our shelves. 

Most of our digital resources can be accessed without an appointment by visiting any location. You will find more about using the Foundation Directory, Grants to Individuals, or Proposal Writing by clicking on the tabs above. If you would like to schedule an appointment for an overview or more in depth assistance, we are happy to do so either in person at Main Library or virtually. Please call 412-622-3114, email info@carnegielibrary.org, or use the chat box at www.carnegielibrary.org to schedule an appointment.
