In Florida, nonprofits are facing some of their most difficult economic challenges due to an increased demand for services, while funding at the State Level is being reduced. Colliers Abood Wood-Fay in partnership with FANO has launched a new Real Estate Occupancy Partnership Program (REOPP) that offers a creative solution to the issue of rising occupancy costs.

Program Description

The two part program will provide financial solutions by reducing occupancy costs.

Part II:   REOPP will coordinate with nonprofit members to merge nonprofit office spaces into one office suite.  This will eliminate the duplication of office uses such as reception areas, kitchens, conference rooms, copiers & equipment, etc.  As a result, occupancy costs can be reduced by up to 30%.

Colliers Abood Wood-Fay will donate a portion of the transaction fees to each nonprofit that uses the firm’s services to relocate or renew.  Nonprofits may use the donation to off-set moving costs that may not have been budgeted.  It may also be used for operating expenses or to purchase new furniture or equipment for the new office.

Colliers Abood Wood-Fay shall make a donation to FANO in the nonprofit’s name to support nonprofit management scholarships, membership support and special events.
