Benefits for Tenants

The security and productivity that comes from paying stable rents for exceptional facilities empowers tenant organizations to focus on their missions. Through shared resources and expertise, tenants are able to make significant contributions to society with greater cost-effectiveness than they would achieve alone. Four major factors provide tenants of the NonProfit Center with significant planning, productivity and fund-raising advantages.

Four Key Benefits

Stability

Because the NonProfit Center of Boston is itself a nonprofit, organizations enjoy rental rates that are not subject to the whims of the market. Traditional for-profit landlords can force nonprofits into unfavorable leases, which leave the organizations exposed to rent hikes if the landlord feels the need to offset raising property taxes or increase income. Long-term leasing stability with affordable, predictable rents allows nonprofit tenants to concentrate on their mission.

Resources

The center provides more than great office space. Tenants of the NonProfit Center have access to shared facilities and equipment that would normally be prohibitively expensive. State of the art meeting rooms are equipped with teleconferencing, videoconferencing and LCD projectors. Kitchens, showers and a beautiful courtyard boost employee satisfaction and productivity, while potential funders will appreciate the air of professionalism and stability offered by the center.

Synergy

The NonProfit Center of Boston is designed to bring some of the best minds in the progressive movement together, working on similar problems and finding common solutions. Community spaces encourage informal contact, while members are encouraged and supported in developing more formalized training and collaboration efforts. Activists from allied groups work together to increase their impact.

Exposure

By concentrating so many exciting and effective organizations under one roof, the NonProfit Center naturally draws the attention of the community, media and those interested in contributing to the shared mission. Access to a high quality conference center enables tenant organizations to host seminars and meetings that carry the message even further.
