Abstract

GuideStar, an online service that provides information on nonprofit organizations in the United States, was used to identify all the nonprofit organizations in downtown Woonsocket, as well as who the executive directors are and the names of people on the board of directors. Internet research was also utilized to access the websites where the students could gather contact information.

The list, to the students’ best abilities, is a comprehensive cross sections of business owners, non-profit leaders, and political leaders.
