DVG Resource Library

In its role as a clearinghouse of information about philanthropy, DVG has acquired an extensive collection of relevant philanthropy-themed books, journals, directories and magazines, which we have housed in a centralized Resource Library. Containing over 1,000 volumes, this collection has also been cataloged into a searchable computer database that provides easy access to information on specific topics and issues. Sample categories covered in DVG's Resource Library include:

•	Philanthropy Management
•	Family Foundations
•	Community Foundations
•	Corporate Philanthropy
•	Legal Issues
•	Community Issues
•	Government and Public Policy
•	Arts/Culture
•	Education

The library and database are invaluable research tools that allow DVG staff to answer your questions quickly and accurately. We welcome DVG members to come and peruse our collection in person and perform their own research. Members may also request a publication remotely (by title or by topic) and DVG will lend them the book free of charge for a two-week period.
