"Creating & Operating Multi-Tenant Non-Profit Centers: Part 2 of the Discussion" is planned for this Monday, March 2nd, 6pm, at The Blue Scorcher, with a report from Peter Huhtala of the Columbia River Business Alliance and Pat Burness of Clatsop County Women's Resource Center on last week's Meyer Memorial Trust seminar.
Representatives of nonprofit organizations from the Clatsop County area attended a Meyer Memorial Trust meeting on February 24 to learn more about the foundation's initiative to help communities establish "multi-tenant nonprofit centers." A report on this meeting will be presented, followed by discussion on how to proceed with the Meyer Memorial Trust RFP.
Below is an excerpt from the Meyer Memorial Trust (MMT) website:
"...MMT is issuing a Request for Proposals as one of its strategies to support nonprofit services in this time of economic uncertainty when nonprofit organizations are struggling to meet growing demands for their services, while watching their funding sources diminish. In particular, we are interested in proposals for multi-tenant nonprofit centers, shared services programs, and fiscal sponsorships because they offer opportunities for organizations to share costs and stimulate activities that help rejuvenate and better serve their communities."
If you are part of a nonprofit organization that would like to explore this way to save on office, display or meeting space costs, then someone from your group should attend this meeting.
The Blue Scorcher Bakery Cafe is at 1493 Duane Street in Astoria, Oregon
