Social Purpose Real Estate Collaborative

The Social Purpose Real Estate Collaborative (SPRE) helps non profits and social enterprises with their real estate needs. We work to make space for community.

Our new study, “Space for Community”, brings into one place a significant body of work & reporting which has been done around the space needs & challenges of social purpose organizations.

Mirroring what is observed in the economy as a whole, our latest survey shows that the crisis is impacting the charitable sector unevenly: while some organizations are faring better, more than half continue to struggle. #COVID19SectorMonitor https://t.co/o3sv4wr6Pr

[Imagine Canada @ImagineCanada]

Almost half of charities are reporting an increase in demand, up from about a third a year ago. 60% expect demand will continue to increase, with almost 20% anticipating the increase will be significant. #COVID19SectorMonitor https://t.co/XO8h4KisSs
