An essential tool in every grantseeker's
toolbox is the Donors Forum's in-person research resources.
These resources are housed in the downtown Chicago Donors
Forum Library, as well as in its partner Philanthropy Centers
in Glen Ellyn, Schaumburg, Chicago Heights, Grayslake and
Quincy. These libraries are all open to the public and are
wheelchair-accessible.

The Donors Forum Library contains more than 2,000 holdings
including books, pamphlets, periodical articles and audiovisual
materials and CD-ROM, focused primarily on philanthropy and
private funding. It also provides access to several proprietary
or subscription-based CD-ROM and online databases. Learn
more about library services.
The Philanthropy Centers offer a subset of the information
available in the Library in locations that are more convenient
for some grantseekers.
The Donors Forum offers additional research services to its
Forum Partners, especially reference assistance by telephone,
email and fax. If you would like to enjoy this benefit, consider
joining
the Donors Forum.
