Nonprofit Centers Network

The Nonprofit Centers Network (NCN) is a membership association and learning community devoted to nonprofit shared space and shared services. Our Mission is to encourage and support nonprofits across North America to leverage shared services, shared spaced, and commercial real estate for greater community impact. Our vision is of a future when every nonprofit has access to the workspace it needs to support and sustain healthy, vibrant communities. NCN is an international community of nonprofit practitioners, real estate and shared service experts, funders and public-sector partners that understand how best practices for nonprofit centers and infrastructure, such as shared space, shared services and the programs they offer, create stronger organizations. We do this by:

• Being the leading voice on shared space and services for nonprofits;
• Developing and disseminating best practice tools on creating and sustaining nonprofit commercial shared spaces;
• Promoting and sharing expertise in shared services and outsourced administration;
• Convening NCN’s membership and others interested in shared space and services via webinars, trainings and events;
• Building and supporting NCN’s robust member community through our active member forum, responsive content development and new member acquisition;
• Providing tailored consulting to projects on a fee-for-service basis.

There is a growing interest in social impact real estate and in shared service models for nonprofits that positions the Nonprofit Centers Network to grow. Currently NCN supports more than 160 members across the United States and Canada. NCN a fiscally sponsored program of TSNE MissionWorks (TSNE),
