MULTI-TENANT
NONPROFIT
CENTERS




Multi-tenant Nonprofit Centers are buildings that house multiple
organizations and provide healthy, efficient, quality, mission-
enhancing workspace. More than just offices, these facilities can
become sustainable centers for strength for communities to dream
together, work together, and grow together.

Nonprofit centers come in all shapes and sizes and serve many
different kinds of communities. All centers, however, share
three basic features:

Composed of multiple (2 or more), primarily not-for-profit,
tenant organizations

Exist as a physical site (one or more buildings)

Provide affordable, stable workspace, build capacity for the
nonprofit sector, and support the various missions of its
tenant organizations.



Financing and Fundraising

Creative, solid financing is one of the key factors in developing
a stable center with affordable leases. Things to consider in your
financing and fundraising:



Types of Funds Required

There are many different types of funding required to develop and
operate a center.

The purchase of a building

Development and renovation funds

Tenant improvements

Ongoing building management operations

Periodic capital improvements

Program and service delivery


Funding Sources

Usually financing a center will require a combination of sources
such as:

Capital campaigns

Traditional bank financing (mortgage)

Community loan funds

Private loans

Program Related Investments (PRIs) from foundations

Ongoing financial management considerations:

Insurance (liability and property)

Accumulating capital reserves for renovations, expansions,
tenant improvements, and repairs

Loan repayment deadlines

Refinancing

General/annual maintenance costs
