Through the use of green technologies, the Foundation has created an efficient new space where tenants and other community nonprofits are encouraged to collaborate, explore and develop synergies among themselves and others that support their success in providing the highest caliber of programs and services in the most cost-effective manner possible.
The Foundation’s vision is to create a professional workplace that supports the essential role of local nonprofit organizations; enhances local access to programs and services; provides and maintains a working environment where employees feel comfortable and safe; provides a respectful environment where the public receives services without stigmatization; and fosters collaboration and partnering among local non profit organizations.
