Nonprofit Resource Library expands resources 10:12 a.m., Jan. 10, 2007--The University of Delaware Center for Community Research and Service (CCRS) is one of UD's leading community outreach and support resources. It recently expanded the capability and offerings of its Nonprofit Resource Library by being designated as a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center of New York. Founded in 1956, the Foundation Center is the foremost authority on U.S. philanthropy and grant-makers. Located in the Community Service Building where 79 nonprofit organizations are housed at 100 West 10th St., Wilmington, the CCFS library can now offer free access to the Foundation's Center core collection, which includes detailed information on more than 80,000 grant-makers and useful information on how to apply for grants. The Foundation Center has five regional library/learning centers and a national network of more than 275 Cooperation Collections, which hold training sessions on how to effectively use Foundation Center resources. “We have worked hard for several years to become a Cooperating Collection,” Melissa Watson, training coordinator, said. “We are thrilled to receive recognition and reach this status. Most importantly, becoming a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center will greatly enhance opportunities for seeking grants and funding support for the nonprofit organizations that we serve in the area.” Founded in 1972 as the Urban Agent Program, CCRS provides professional development education, training and technical assistant to nonprofit organizations, focusing on social and human services, community development and housing. CCRS offers certificate programs in nonprofit management, community-based development, faith-based community development and other areas. For information on CCRS, go to [www.udel.edu/ccrs].
