"The recognition that we received from the Catalogue proved to be priceless. We always felt we were one of Washington's best kept secrets; the Catalogue has let the secret out."
The Catalogue introduces you to high impact, carefully evaluated, community-based nonprofits with budgets below $3 million. Though they comprise the great majority of all charities, the public rarely hears about them because most cannot afford to make themselves heard. Yet they are right here, working hard to make life better in every arena of our lives: protecting our rivers, keeping the arts alive, teaching our children to succeed in school, healing the uninsured, protecting our vulnerable citizens at home and abroad.
In seven years the review team that evaluates our nonprofits has grown from 20 to 90 members: our rigorous evaluation process is designed to provide you with a carefully vetted list of excellent, trustworthy nonprofits — so you can spend your valuable time reading, exploring, and discovering what matters to you.
So explore by field, view all nonprofits in a list, or search using key words — all at the left of your screen. And please check out our How to Give section, where you will find a Gift Registry, Gift Cards, Especially for Kids, and more.
