Forward Community Investments developed the ?Facilities Planning Guide for Nonprofits? to provide area nonprofits with a road map with which to navigate the complex and confusing facilities planning process.

Many nonprofits are realizing the long-term benefits of owning real estate. Today, many are in the market to build, buy, remodel, or co-locate with other nonprofits. But making that real estate leap is fraught with many choices, it involves a lot of time and knowing where to turn for help. This manual provides an overview of the planning, development, and construction process. It provides real life examples of how successful nonprofits decided to either rent, purchase, or construct their facilities. It will help you make the decision that is right for your organization.

The manual was made possible by the generous support of CUNA Mutual Group. MGE generously agreed to absorb the cost of mailing the manual to over 100 nonprofits and individuals.
