Corporations across the country are starting to realize the social and financial value of creating nonprofit centers in their local communities.   

As part of their community commitment, some corporations have turned their vacant office buildings into community assets; developing centers that provide both quality workspace and community conference centers. Others, with expertise in construction and development, have leveraged their connections in the industry to build state-of-the-art spaces which foster connections between individuals, organizations and the communities they serve.  

The creation of nonprofit space, either through donation of underused real estate that can be thoughtfully repurposed, or through other financial or in-kind support, provides corporations with a unique opportunity to give back to their communities while gaining the financial benefits of charitable contributions.  

Nonprofit centers increase long-term savings, create employment opportunities for local residents and support local businesses. These shared workspaces showcase the work of foundations, tenants and grantees. Often set in green spaces and grounded in eco-friendly values, nonprofit centers can enhance sustainability by modeling energy efficiency and by using sustainable materials to create healthy workplaces.

Through our creation, operation, and promotion of sustainable workspace for nonprofits, Tides has taken the lead in this burgeoning movement. We partner with institutions and individuals like you to create long-term solutions to the nonprofit space crisis and to strengthen nonprofit capacity in the real estate arena.
