The Giving Library is a new web site started by two philanthropists who were tired of searching for good giving opportunities. It current;y includes videos from 250 nonprofits that detail each organization’s history, mission, challenges, and plans as well as the results they have achieved. Donors who find them interesting can then anonymously seek out more information. Foundation officials are evaluating 100 more charities that hope to be added to the site. Charities that are interested in being added to the library can apply online. To be considered, a nonprofit must show proof of its tax-exempt status, including its Form 990 informational tax forms. The foundation then conducts a background check to make sure gifts to the charity have been used responsibly and legally.
