Nonprofit shared spaces (also known as nonprofit centers) are a key example of social purpose real estate that provides high quality and affordable workspace, meeting space, and community infrastructure. Tenants of these spaces experience opportunities for collaboration and cost sharing that ultimately support a greater community impact.
In this recent report about the State of the Shared Space Sector, we’re presented with data that assess the impact of these spaces. The survey captures the tenant and community benefits, best practices, and innovations happening in these spaces every day. As you see in the chart below, nonprofit organizations overwhelmingly claimed that working in a shared space has many benefits for them.
Nonprofit shared spaces create vibrant, collaborative spaces that benefit both their nonprofit tenants and the broader community. As a shared space organization, the Nonprofit Center in Anne Arundel County hopes that you'll consider this data as we prepare to open our doors in late Spring / early Summer 2025!
