Denver Shared Space Project
What is the Denver Shared Space Project?
The Denver Shared Space Project is a nationally recognized, public-private partnership that promotes best-practices in the creation and operation of shared space centers in Denver. Started in 2009 by the Denver Office of Strategic Partnerships, Piton Foundation, and Urban Land Conservancy, the Project promotes the growing trend within the nonprofit community of applying a shared space model as a core operational strategy.
By positioning itself as a source for information, expertise, and targeted support, the Project is:
- Working to create new multi-tenant nonprofit centers;
- Providing information, tools, and forums for knowledge-sharing around creation and operation of shared spaces;
- Streamlining City and community resources to achieve strategic efficiencies in nonprofit facility investment;
- Facilitating a formal network of shared space nonprofit centers.
