The Path to Ownership

May 30, 2018, 10 am - 1 pm

Sobrato Center for Nonprofits, San Jose

In the rapidly increasing Bay Area real estate market, more nonprofits are seeking to own their space. Come learn what it takes to get your organization ready for a real estate purchase and get an introduction to the acquisition process. NCCLF's expert consulting team will discuss organizational capacity as it relates to real estate, review funding and financing options, and provide a window into what it means to be an owner. Participants will come away with a better sense of what the next steps are for their organization’s path to ownership.

Led by expert real estate consultants at the Northern California Community Loan Fund (NCCLF), this event is designed for senior staff members and/or board/advisory council members. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Register now. Limited space available.
