Great mention of the NonprofitCenters Network impact study Measuring Collaboration: The Benefits and Impacts of Nonprofit Centers in Philanthropy Journal:
An analysis of 146 centers by the The NonprofitCenters Network, a program of Tides, found about 86 percent of organizations co-locating with other nonprofits see "significant" improvement in their effectiveness and efficiency.
Some of those benefits come from the ability to afford higher-quality facilities in better locations for as much as 75 percent below market rates, the study says.
Additional benefits come from instances where organizations from different but related fields, such as health clinics, food banks and job-training organizations, come together to offer a one-stop solution for constituents.
