The services Nonprofit Village offers are crucial and have been a big part of the success of our programs. The workspace and the meetings rooms give us the space to host classes for low-income women in a safe and professional environment. The variety of back office services has helped us run operations smoothly since 2015, allowing us to grow and make connections in the County.

It was the perfect step up from my living room and the occasional free desk at a member office.  I took advantage of training on strategic planning, mission and vision, and more throug partners like Maryland Nonprofits.

Easy access to quality office equipment like the copier/printer and postage meter helped stretch our resources tremendously.  Educational opportunities both through NPV and the partners I met through NPV (Nonprofit Montgomery, Center for Nonprofit Advancement, Maryland Nonprofits) had a direct impact on our operations.

“Before we got to the Village, our office was in my house.  Entertaining clients and board meetings while my children were running around and having my garage filled with water bottles was becoming difficult.  It’s much nicer to have professiona meeting space, and not my dining room table.”

For a small non-profit, getting its running legs stronger, these are essential support services.  In fact, the service amounts to over $37,000 in annual operational savings for may NPV’s tenants.  Shared equipment, library, subscriptions to trade periodicals, and meeting rooms allowed GOTR to focus on programming and growth rather than operations.

Increasing our programming, inclusion in the Catalogue of Philanthropy and working with great summer interns – yes, NPV summer intern program helped with this.

Hallway conversations with Kim Jones, Tom Cooling and other NPV staff offered invaluable information and access to advice.  The NPV staff were consistently friendly and helpful (since day 1 of our rental).

Being in shared space with organizations has been helpful n several ways.  First, being able to ask other ED’s questions and seek advice by just walking down the hll if invaluable.

Second, having folks around to share the day with creates a greater sense of community, especially for organizations like ours with a small staff.  MCAEL has been able to bring together members of our network of providers here on a regular basis, so it has become second home to them, too.

NPV staff is always responsive, easy to work with and supportive.  The NPV model has been a great place for us to spend the last 8 or so years and I appreciate everything we have gained while we have been here.

Nonprofit Village has provided BellXcell with an affordable rental fee that allows us to remain within our annual budget. We take advantage of valuable amenities that allow us to truly maximize the way we work, including beautiful and spacious conference rooms, a clean and professional space for our visitors, and a subsidized summer internship program. We are huge fans of the NPV mission and the leadership team is amazing to work with, especially when we need to connect to additional resources.
