Mankato Area Foundation Shared Spaces - A Center for Nonprofit Collaboration
127 S. 2nd Street
Mankato, MN 56001
For nearly 40 years, a center for nonprofits had been envisioned for the Greater Mankato area community. In early 2014, the Mankato Area Foundation embraced this decades-old dream as a strategic goal and in September of the following year officially opened the doors of Shared Spaces - A Center for Nonprofit Collaboration. With a full roster of long-term tenants, the interminable goal of Shared Spaces is to increase the capacity and effectiveness of the region’s nonprofit sector and philanthropic donors to support a healthy and vibrant Mankato area.
