Nonprofit Lands Registry
ONN’s Nonprofit Registry for Public Benefit Lands
Looking for land for your nonprofit? Thinking about buying a facility for your public benefit organization?
Did you know the Ministry of Infrastructure has surplus government land which may be available for sale to the public at market rates? This registry is the first of its kind in Ontario giving eligible not-for-profit organizations the chance to access a circulation list of surplus properties for capital planning – before they go on the open market.
This is great news for the sector! ONN is working with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Infrastructure Ontario on this new opportunity. Following ONN recommendations to the Ontario government through the Open for Business initiative, we have created a special registry for eligible nonprofits to access the Realty Disposal Publication Website, managed by Infrastructure Ontario.
