You’ve got your 501(c)(3) submitted, and your new charity is fully incorporated with an advisory board appointed. The problem - where do you keep your donations? OK, not every charity needs space for donations, but if you do, self storage is the right choice for you. By keeping your costs down, allowing for flexibility in your storage space, and providing top-notch security, renting a storage unit keeps your costs - and headaches - to a minimum. Flexibility Just like businesses, charities experience both lean and flush times. By choosing to rent a storage unit instead of other options, you open yourself up to the flexibility that self storage provides. Upgrading your unit size is a matter of stopping by your facility’s office and filling out some forms. Need a second unit - or more? Just as easy. Besides the ability to change the volume of space you have available, you have other options available for your goods, donations or otherwise. Climate controlled storage units are a great option for furniture donations - you don’t want to have your donations go to waste! Drive-up units are especially great if you’re moving things in and out regularly or all at once. There are boxes and other moving supplies available for sale in the office, saving you a trip if you need a bit of extra organization in your unit, and elevators to reach the upper floors - never carry donations up the stairs again! Security When collecting donations for charity, security should always be a concern - storing your donations at your office paints a target for potential thieves. The first perk of renting at a self storage facility is the relative anonymity provided. Coming to our facility, you can easily blend into the crowd of people coming and going. Once your belongings are in our care, they’re protected by security cameras, fences, and managers who are on-site daily. Another thing to consider is, by being in a facility with people coming and going, potential thieves have an additional deterrent. Affordability You may be able to provide a level of security that is similar to a self storage facility at your own office or you could just get a space large enough to cover your busy season. The real kicker for renting self storage to support your charity is the cost. By taking advantage of our flexibility, you can minimize your costs and stay as lean as possible.
