Meeting and Office Space

[synergyseeker.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have any ideas for meeting space for 10-15 people in Davis Square? Im looking at the Dilboy for larger meetings but having a hard time finding a smaller venue. Anyone have a possible rentable conference room?  Also looking for an office space....a year lease, a possible shared office or temporary sublet would all work....Thanks!

It has to be a non-profit organization that has the account. A personal account won't cut it, unfortunately, even if you are a member of a non-profit. I was disappointed when I got an account there and then couldn't use the space for my not-for-profit-but-not-officially-a-non-profit-group.

That's sort of odd; I once was an officer of an organization that was not an official federally incorporated nonprofit but was a nonprofit group, and Wainwright helped us learn what we needed to get (a federal EIN and a DBA "doing business as" city certificate) to be eligible to have a nonprofit account with them.

What seems odd to you? Your story sounds quite reasonable for Wainwright, as they like to promote non-profits.

I guess I just think it's weird that they wouldn't extend that same privilege (treating a group as a nonprofit when the group is too small/informal to be an official nonprofit) to the group you were with. It seems like we got better treatment than you did, and that that may mean that rather than W having a policy of treating small nonprofits as "real" nonprofits, we may have just hit on some particularly helpful individuals. Which would be a shame, since for the years since that experience of mine I've always used it to help refer individuals and small/informal nonprofits to Wainwright.

I have had groups meet at Wainwright Community Rooms based on me having a personal bank account there. I was able to sign out the room under my own name, take responsibility for it myself, and they didn't care in the least what sort of status my group had.
