CommunitySpace co-working space policies and assistance to grassroots POC entities:
Nonprofit Austin @ ACC’s CommunitySpace is committed to working within a framework that integrates social justice principles while supporting and respecting accountability to advance social equity within the nonprofit community. Recognizing historic disparities that limit adherence to generally accepted organizational standards, we strive to address and eliminate such roadblocks in our programs and services. Nonprofit Austin will assist those members who are not Texas nonprofit corporations to obtain their Texas nonprofit corporation status, obtain their Employers Identification Number, and drafting their bylaws. We will also assist any CommunitySpace members in applying for IRS 501(c)(3) determinations for a fee.” (nonprofitaustin.org/communityspace)
