Malls offer nonprofits rent-free space to avoid empty storefronts - KansasCity.com

Malls offer nonprofits rent-free space to avoid empty storefronts - KansasCity.com: "Nonprofits may not have the buying power that large national retailers have, but in many cases they are willing tenants who can help shopping centers fill spaces during recessions.

For the nonprofit, it's a rare chance to get exposure to the thousands of people who shop at centers like Cameron Village each month.

For the shopping center, it's a chance to do something good for a local charity, and it helps avoid one of the biggest no-nos in retail: an empty space."
