Questions like this are awkward to answer yes-no.

One OBVIOUS way is to put each under a different USER (I am assuming 
that your OS supports this, as all modern ones do). In other words, you 
personal books would be under your "own" log in, your charity1 books 
would be under a different user  log in (say org1) and this new 
organization under another user (say org2). Then you use "change user" 
and enter that user's password to go to one of these.

Just because you are a single human being doesn't mean that your 
computer(s) have to see you as a single person/user. But this answer is 
probably not the sort of one you are looking for.
