If several nonprofit groups co-locate, do they have a better chance of receiving funding?
While we believe that co-locations and merged spaces don’t work for all nonprofits, they can often offer tremendous economies of scale and enhance multi-organizational synergies. Successful co-locations require organizational capacity, mission congruency, leadership responsibility and legal arrangements. They also allow our funds to go farther. When NSCF assesses a co-location as “institutionally strengthening” for all involved parties, we give it high priority. Co-location projects are given preference with our capital grants and have priority access to our planning grants.
