The  Johnson-UGO Foundation Library

A  Cooperating Collection

The Office of Urban and Global Ministries of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference, Dr. Dorothy Watson Tatem, Director and Johnson Memorial United Methodist Church, The Rev. Dong-Jin Choi, pastor, have collaborated to form the Johnson-UGO Foundation Library, a Cooperating Collection of the nation’s leading nonprofit management and grantsmanship library, the Foundation Center.  Johnson-UGO is the first designated Cooperating Collection  formed by a collaboration of faith-based organizations. This is among five Foundation Center Regional Libraries and close to 345 Cooperating Collections throughout the United States.
