The Philanthropy Center: A Partnership

The Philanthropy Center is a partnership between the Donors Forum of Chicago and College of DuPage to meet the information needs of nonprofit organizations located in the western suburbs of Chicago. Philanthropic and fund-raising groups may conveniently access research materials and attend workshops at the College of DuPage Library.

Funding to support this partnership has been provided with a grant from the Community Memorial Foundation and a contribution from the West Suburban Philanthropic Network. Resources and workshops at College of DuPage do not, however, replace the specialized resources and wide array of training provided by the Donors Forum at its Chicago location.
