Additional materials, such as annual reports and newsletters from more than 1,200 funders, provide a snapshot of current philanthropic trends, as well as specific supported projects. In addition, the Library collaborates with the Greater Austin Chapter of the National Society of Fund Raising Executives to furnish resources and materials related to fundraising, development, nonprofit management, evaluation, volunteerism, and planned giving. In association with the Directors of Volunteers in Austin, the Library houses volunteer management materials to aid nonprofit organizations looking to tap into volunteers' energy and resources. The Library also hosts a collection of the United Way of Texas resource files, which can be a valuable source of statistics and background information to support funding appeals. The library is open between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for a limited number of University of Texas holidays.
Materials are available for in-library use only.
The facility is barrier-free with special parking available upon request. Return to Top Evaluation Research Program For more than three decades, the Hogg Foundation has strongly endorsed the premise that program evaluation is essential to effective grantmaking. Its Evaluation Research Program is one of the oldest, strongest, and most innovative in the nation, due in no small part to the resources and expertise provided by its affiliation with The University of Texas at Austin. The centerpiece of the Foundation's evaluation effort is a fellowship program that has provided more than 50 doctoral students with in-depth training and experience in program evaluation and philanthropy. Fellows, as well as other interested students, enroll in a fall graduate seminar on evaluation methods and approaches and, in the spring, receive credit for a practicum experience in evaluation.
