Nonprofit Resource Center at May Memorial Library
Our Mission
The Nonprofit Resource Center at May Memorial Library is a special collection of how-to books, directories, and computer resources designed to assist local nonprofits to find additional sources of financial support and strengthen their operations.
Books & Directories
The nonprofit collection includes items about grantwriting, proposal development, fundraising, financial management, marketing, and leadership strategies. Aside from a small number of noncirculating directories, most material in the Nonprofit Resource Center may be checked out for 3 weeks using an Alamance County Public Libraries card.
