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 increase the capacity and effectiveness of the nonprofit sector and improve the communities they serve by supporting the development and ongoing operations of multi-tenant nonprofit centers and other quality community serving spaces. Our vision is that of a future when every community has access to the space it needs to be sustainable, healthy, and vibrant. Our approach is to support and amplify the voices of social purpose real estate practitioners and advocate for sustainable solutions to community infrastructure, particularly through nonprofit and local ownership and control.

We have the experience, knowledge, and networks to help create and operate successful social purpose real estate projects. Our core services include:

• Training nonprofit and community-based leaders to manage complex real estate projects
• Developing tools and resources that leverage decades of experience and data from hundreds of operating centers
• Facilitating a vibrant and adaptive membership community with solutions and tools around shared infrastructure
• Providing tailored, on-demand consulting a fee-for-service basis
• Convening the largest social purpose real estate conference
