Exploring Interest in Shared Services and Co-Locating

1. About the Survey

The Community Sector Council Newfoundland and Labrador (CSCNL) is committed to strengthening and promoting the essential role that charities, nonprofits and other community organizations play in building healthy and prosperous communities. We have heard from many organizations in the sector about their struggles and challenges with financial stability and human resources attraction and retention with both the paid and unpaid labour. We have had received requests for physical space and interest in the possibility of shared services. This survey is designed to help CSCNL better understand the needs of community organizations looking to connect with potential co-working, colocations and available spaces as well as interest in the types of shared services.
