Welcome to the Giving Library

Experience the new way to give. Browse videos, learn about nonprofit organizations across the country, and expand your philanthropic possibilities. You may also register for a free personal account with the Giving Library, which will allow you to bookmark your favorite organizations, save your preferences, and utilize our Connection Center to communicate anonymously with organizations that interest you.

About the Connection Center

Ask questions, request information, plan your giving...on your own terms. The Connection Center is a forum for anonymous communication that provides philanthropists with the opportunity to engage in one-on-one conversations with nonprofit organizations. It empowers philanthropists to more deeply explore giving opportunities through meaningful dialogue without the traditional pressures of initiating such conversations. The Connection Center is what you make of it. Any message you send will be sent anonymously, and your privacy will be protected. Yet, should you ever wish to identify yourself, you are welcome to do so within your message. To use the Connection Center, simply register for a Giving Library account and start connecting!

A Letter from the Founders

Dear Friends,

As philanthropists, we are all faced with the challenge of how to “give smart” – how to make informed and impactful decisions with respect to our giving. This is the driving force behind the Giving Library, an online tool for philanthropists to practically and efficiently explore a large number of giving opportunities. In this collection of videos, leaders of nonprofit organizations from across the country convey compelling information about each organization’s mission, objectives and needs. We hope that your visit to the Giving Library will spark discussions with or about these organizations or a greater interest in the issues that they seek to address, and we hope you find the site useful in your own efforts at strategic charitable giving.

Thank you for visiting The Giving Library.

Sincerely,
Laura and John Arnold
