The Resource Center for Philanthropy serves as the information hub for the philanthropic community represented by AGM and its members.  The Center and its professional staff collect, organize, and provide physical and virtual access to information resources produced by publishers, research organizations, national and regional foundations, academics and practitioners, and the members of AGM themselves.

Grant making organizations and their staff, officers, and trustees use the Resource Center to:

• Research trends in charitable giving, fundraising practices, and nonprofit management.
• Identify best practices in foundation administration and find useful workbooks, guidelines, and articles from other practitioners and experts in the field.
• Research potential grantees.
• Enhance their knowledge of important issues such as evaluation, ethics, board development, financial management, government regulation, and legal issues.
• Tap into the collective expertise of other members and AGM staff.
• Obtain help with research from the Resource Center staff.

Nonprofit organizations use the Resource Center to:

• Identify potential sources of grants matching their programmatic, geographic, and population focus.
• Research local and national foundations, corporate giving programs, and community funders.
• Gain free access to materials on all aspects of philanthropy and nonprofit management, including fundraising, board development, and proposal writing.

The Resource Center includes the Janet C. Taylor Library, the most comprehensive nonprofit and philanthropic collection in New England, and a growing range of online services provided through AGM's website.
