Jon Kelvey Carroll County Times: Nonprofit Center celebrates
10 years of incubating social good http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-nonprofit-center-20160519-story.html

Incubators may be en vogue in the entrepreneurial tech world
of Silicon Valley today, but when it comes to incubating nonprofits and
building social capital, Westminster has been a leader since 2006, the year the
Carroll County Nonprofit Center was born.
On Wednesday afternoon, more than 100 people filled a large
conference room at the center's Clifton Boulevard location to celebrate a
decade of its providing low cost, no rent homes for nonprofit organizations
focused on helping the people of Carroll County.
"We've taken a lot of nonprofits from basements of
churches, shopping centers, out of their homes," said Nonprofit Center
Director Mark Krider in an interview. "This gives them stability, it gives
them an address, it gives them a place to volunteer. People don't want to
volunteer in somebody's home, or a basement of a church."
Standing at the podium Wednesday, Krider ran down some of
the impressive statistics associated with 10 years of giving nonprofits a home:
more than 55,000 families helped by agencies housed in the center; more than
148,251 volunteer hours served, a $3.9 million value; and 34 different agencies
housed at one time or another. Current tenants include Habitat for Humanity;
the Marriage and Relationship Education Center; and Head Start/Catholic
Charities, which, Krider noted, has enrolled almost 2,000 children since
becoming one of the first tenants in 2006.
