Nonprofits Struggle to Stay in the Bay Area

A study by Northern California Grantmakers (NCG) found that a large number of nonprofit organizations are concerned about being displaced due to the cost of office space in the Bay Area. The study, called "Status of Bay Area Nonprofit Space & Facilities," found that an overwhelming 82 percent of the organizations surveyed are worried about their survival, and 68 percent think that the cost of office space will force them to relocate within five years. The study found that 38 percent of respondents reported they had already had to move in the last five years.

In an interview with KQED, Steve Barton, a consultant for NCG, said that the numbers were "scary."
