January Lunch and Learn: Shared Spaces

WHAT: Power, Process, and the Opportunity of Shared Space
Nonprofit Real Estate Ownership and Shared Space. Learn how multi–tenant nonprofit centers can strengthen nonprofits organizations and communities. Nonprofit shared spaces bring together a set of programs and services for easy access for communities and create space that prioritizes belonging and safety. They also provide affordable and stable programs.

FOR: Nonprofit Leadership (Staff and Board)

WHY: Nonprofits are better together. Shared space allows for cost efficiency and possible pathways to shared ownership.
