RESOURCES
Throughout the Toolbox, books, articles, reports, films, and other materials have been
cited that can be useful for funders interested in exploring various aspects of the CO field
and in designing and implementing a CO grantmaking program. In addition, Web site
addresses and other information about key organizations involved with CO — both funders
and CO groups — accompany many of the case studies and other examples that are used to
illustrate major points in the text.
In this brief section, we list and describe the contents of several publications that vari-
ous NFG members have found particularly helpful to them in implementing a CO grantmak-
ing program.
For additional references, please contact NFG’s staff.
