Which membership is right for you?

Center in Development

Centers in Development are groups that are in the early stages of exploring the concept of shared space and its application to their communities. All projects that have not yet opened their doors are eligible for this special introductory rate.

Center in Operation

Centers in Operation are nonprofit centers that are established and operating shared spaces. They are typically multi-tenant spaces that increase the capacity and effectiveness of the nonprofit sector by providing quality nonprofit workspace and community. Pricing is on a sliding scale based on a center’s budget size.

Social Purpose Real Estate (SPRE) Partner

Social Purpose Real Estate (SPRE) Partners are individuals, organizations, or businesses that are supportive of or interested in social purpose real estate and shared infrastructure as a positive way to impact our communities, but do not operate a shared space. Pricing is on a sliding scale based on an organization’s budget size.

What are members saying?

I’m continually impressed with the depth of the NCN community. When folks ask questions to the NCN listserv, people chime in from centers across the US and Canada with great ideas, tools, and stories of their own experience. The diversity of the network means that there are answers, resources, and ideas for every challenge.

– Posner Center for International Development

NCN is our organization’s most leveraged membership because of all the targeted resources they provide for shared spaces. We have really benefitted from participating in learning communities, workshops, webinars, one on one consulting and peer to peer information sharing. Whenever we have shared space questions, NCN is the first place we turn to for expert advice.
