Facilities management (FM) plays a crucial role in ensuring nonprofit organizations operate smoothly and efficiently. Nonprofit FMs often face unique challenges—limited budgets, aging infrastructure, evolving workplace needs, and ever-changing regulations. That’s why the Nonprofit Facilities Management Strategies Lunch and Learn on October 24th, from 11am to 1pm at the Daniels Fund Office (101 Monroe St., Denver) is an event you won’t want to miss.
This event promises to provide nonprofit FMs with valuable insights from industry experts, including Maureen Roskoski, who will be part of an expert panel alongside specialists from the IFMA Denver Chapter and the Governor’s Office. Whether you’re managing a nonprofit’s facilities or looking to optimize your building’s operations, this event will give you the tools to better navigate the complex world of facilities management.
This event is limited to facilities management professionals for nonprofits.
Facilities management within nonprofits comes with a unique set of challenges that are often overlooked in the broader FM community. Nonprofits typically operate with tighter budgets, fewer resources, and a greater focus on mission-driven outcomes, which means facilities management strategies must be even more cost-effective and innovative. For many nonprofit organizations, the facilities they manage serve as hubs for community engagement, service delivery, and support programs, so maintaining these spaces efficiently is critical to fulfilling the mission.
The Facilities Management Nonprofit Lunch and Learn event provides an invaluable opportunity to gain tailored advice on addressing these challenges—whether it’s finding ways to do more with less, ensuring your buildings meet safety and compliance standards, or identifying funding sources to support sustainable energy projects. By attending, you’ll learn how to leverage best practices, creative solutions, and available resources to make your nonprofit’s facilities a true asset to both your organization and the people you serve.
What You’ll Learn
Attendees will walk away with actionable strategies and guidance on a variety of key topics that are essential for any FM working in the nonprofit sector:
- Identifying and Managing Facility-Related Challenges: Learn how to identify common problems, from aging infrastructure to day-to-day operational hiccups, and find effective solutions to keep your facilities running smoothly.
- Effective Budgeting and C-Suite Communication: Facilities management is often underfunded in nonprofits, making it crucial to communicate effectively with C-suite executives. Experts will share best practices for advocating for your budget and aligning your facilities needs with organizational goals.
- Facility Assessments and Capital Planning: Gain insights into assessing the condition of your facility and planning for long-term maintenance and capital improvement projects. Understand how to prioritize investments to maximize the life cycle of your buildings and avoid costly emergencies.
