This guide was created to support the minor in Nonprofit Organizations. Use the tabs at the left of the page to explore available resources. Some of the resources listed in this guide are subscription databases and may only be accessed by current students, faculty, and staff of Bentley University, or, in some cases, by visitors to the library.
For resources related to grant writing, please refer to the Grant Writing Research Guide.
GuideStar provides information on faith-based organizations and IRS-registered nonprofit organizations, including mission, operations, finances, transparency, executives/key employees, board leadership, and governance. Where available, IRS Forms 990 may be viewed and downloaded. Bentley University Library does not have a subscription to GuideStar Pro, but users can create a free personal account to access nonprofit information and use GuideStar's free basic search. The free version does have limitations on how much content is accessible and how many free searches can be run per account per month.
