Whether we like it or not, many US cities are still in full throttle recovery mode following COVID. The systemic changes wrought by hybrid work continue to fuel lower occupancy rates for downtown office buildings. This domino effect of fewer workers is further evidenced by ground-floor retail vacancy rates. Simply put, more bodies are needed to fill empty buildings, whether these individuals arrive as employees, residents, visitors, students, or patients. Steve Roth, CEO of Vornado Realty Trust, the second-largest commercial landlord in New York City recently described the challenge in New York this way - "245 million of New York's 422 million square feet of office space as old, obsolete, and well past their sell-by date." Finding new uses for these buildings will be among the most pressing challenges that city builders will face in the next 20-30 years. The solution will clearly require unprecedented leadership and collaboration between the private, public, and non-profit sectors. This panel brought together precisely these partners to discuss how Washington D.C. is tackling the problem, which may serve as inspiration for other cities facing similar challenges.

This inspiring nonprofit was looking for a solution to refurnish their new office under a tight budget, yet they still wanted to create a warm and inviting environment for their employees and guests. AIS and OMNIA Partners, Nonprofit were able to provide them with the opportunity to purchase brand new furniture that offered substantial savings and allowed for them to stay in budget. OMNIA Partners, Nonprofit harnesses the power of cooperative purchasing to lower costs & simplify procurement decisions. For a nonprofit, like PACE, saving time and money is crucial to continued success and growth, and we are excited to continue our partnership with AIS to make it happen!

What a great organization helping another great organization

Maryland will be soon joining 11 other states and Washington DC in having paint recycling drop-off sites thru PaintCare. According to MD Senator Chris West, “As much as 10% of paint purchased goes unused.” This will help keep all that leftover paint out of landfills and sitting in garages, and instead put it to a better use through recycling and reuse. The program will be funded by a fee collected when paint is purchased. This is instead of charging a fee at the drop-off site as a way to further increase recycling rates. https://lnkd.in/e68tcYzK Great way to make sure leftover paint becomes new paint instead of landfill waste or being illegally dumped. Come on #Pennsylvania, let's get on board this! #circularEconomy #ExtendedProducerResponsibility #EPR #recycling

I’ve just emerged from a great conversation held by Institute For Voluntary Action Research with civil society leaders. The crisis we are facing in my area is clearly felt everywhere. Stories of it never having been this bad – councils cutting services to the bone in the face of bankruptcy, demands on civil society going through the roof, civil society groups closing, funding systems breaking through too much demand, massive delays, some even closing. We urgently need a national plan for civil society renewal from the new government. We need the key bodies NCVO NAVCA Association of Charitable Foundations and others making an immediate case to tackle the severity of this crisis through significant investment. We neither need nor can we wait for any commissions or inquiries. We understand and see the issues on a daily basis. We need independent trusts & foundations to spend their endowments & recognise that their work to achieve change needs to start with the reality in local communities – what they need, what are their priorities & frames. Transformation will start through grassroots action connected at scale to achieve big shifts. Urgent investment in local place with monies held by local communities.?
