Nonprofit Office Moving in Boston and MetroWest

Many nonprofits move in early summer, after spring events and before the fall appeal, and some tie the date to a June 30 fiscal year-end so the budget covers it. Weekend moves are available on request, which also suits volunteers who work weekdays.

Nonprofit offices around Greater Boston are often in older buildings: a floor in a Downtown Crossing or South End building, a converted mill in Worcester, a former school or church hall in Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, or Framingham. That means narrow stairs, old elevators, and loading from the street, so we walk the building first. Landlords and host congregations sometimes want our insurance certificate before they hand over keys, and we send it on request. If the new space is shared with a daycare, a congregation, or evening programs, tell us their hours, because the crew has to stay out of their way.

Donated furniture has a history. Before the move we check older pieces for loose joints, cracked tops, and missing hardware, and tell you which ones are likely to fail in transit, so you can decide whether to move, repair, or pass them on. Everything we carry gets pads and edge protection regardless of how much it cost.

Volunteers can pack boxes, tape, and label, and we hand them a simple labeling plan by room. The crew does the lifting, the stairs, and the truck. Donor files, case files, and anything with personal information stay under your staff's control, packed and sealed before we arrive. Office laptops and screens are reconnected at desks; the donor database and email belong to whoever looks after your technology.
