The Corporate Giving Directory 2000 provides a comprehensive overview of corporate philanthropy, detailing the top corporate givers and their contributions to various sectors. This directory expands upon previous editions by highlighting the top-10 corporate givers from the prior year and offering detailed listings for top givers in arts and humanities, civic and public affairs, education, environment, international causes, social services, and health. It also identifies the top five givers in science. New analytical features, previously exclusive to subscribers of Taft's Corporate Giving Watch, are integrated to help match corporate foundations and direct givers with fund-raising organizations.

The Corporate Giving Directory 2000 serves as a vital resource for non-profit organizations seeking corporate funding and for researchers studying corporate philanthropy. Its detailed listings and analytical features aim to facilitate connections between potential donors and recipients. The inclusion of expanded sector-specific data and previously exclusive subscriber information enhances its utility for a broad range of users in the non-profit and corporate sectors.
