How Nonprofits Can Share Down Their Costs

Q: What are ways that nonprofit organizations can benefit from sharing… without losing autonomy?

Recently, I picked up a flyer for a theater company requesting a unique kind of donation: storage space. The theater sought homeowners in a densely populated area of San Francisco (where storage space costs a pretty penny), and asked people to lend their closet or garage space for storage of costumes, sets, and props.

Cool idea: For donors, it’s a way to give without donating time or money, and for the organization, it’s a free place to store giant paper mache elephant heads when they aren’t putting on shows for school children. And it’s sharing, our favorite subject, of course.
