501c3 // nonprofit spaces?

[Denver Hutt]

Does anyone know of any spaces that have been founded as nonprofits? We recently got our 501c3 status (woo!) and I'd love to hear how others are are going about fundraising and sponsorship opportunities within their spaces. 

We are pretty adamant about not becoming Nascar with branding/naming on the walls, desks, furniture, ect and while we have had awesome community support thus far, we are beginning to reach beyond our initial rounds/circles to continue our efforts. What has worked best for you/your spaces?

There have been extensive discussions of this in the past. If you search this group for "501" or "nonprofit" you will pull up a couple of long threads about it.

I'm in a similar position. We incorporated as a 501c6, and were able to secure a few initial sponsorships that make our move-in costs bearable.  However, we now need to look at structuring an ongoing sponsorship program.  The most helpful advice I've found so far in searching the groups is this note from Alex:

I haven't really found anything more specific than that.  We love our sponsors, and they love us and we really want to find more of those great connections in the community.  I'm working on a draft of a Sponsor Packet right now, and wouldn't mind brainstorming a bit.  if you want to chat offline sometime (via email or videoconference), I'm game.
