Go! Series

Resource materials have been created to increase effective grantmaking and grantseeking in our community. The Go! Guides are a series of brochures focusing on fundamental issues for nonprofits. These guides offer information, advice, and sources of reference that include a concise summary of key points on a specific topic as well as references to additional easy-to-access sources of information on that topic. By clicking on the specific title of the Go! Guides brochure you are interested in, you will have access to downloadable and printable PDF files.

The Go! Guides include a series of 10 brochures designed for use by nonprofit staff, boards and donors. This project was made possible through a grant from the Foellinger Foundation and is being coordinated by the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne and the Allen County Public Library Paul Clarke Nonprofit Resource Center.
