About Opening Halls

Opening Halls was established to assist not-for-profit organisations to increase their income by making better use of their facilities.

The current focus of the business is Melbourne but advice and our marketing service are also available to other locations.

The primary goal of Opening Halls is to increase your NFPs income by making better use of your facilities. This is most often done by marketing those facilities like halls, rooms, and even land, to external hirers. In most instances this will involve marketing surplus time to external hirers when those buildings or rooms are not being used by the Not for Profit.

Opening Halls does not work for commercial companies or private building owners, only for the community sector.

Our current business goal is;

To engage with NFP organisations and position their halls and hire spaces as valuable and viable community assets while generating income from those spaces.

Opening Halls offers an especially valuable service to NFP organizations working on limited budgets. The commission structure the enterprise uses was formed not to place the burden of wages on organizations with limited financial resources. Opening Halls being a contractor, the NFP also avoids the compliance and financial liability of paid staff.

Opening Halls is essentially a marketing and booking service that can also be a key holder managing short term hirers of community space. Our full service covers the hire process from creating a market presence for your space through web sites and other marketing material, answering inquiries, showing prospective hires your space, billing for hire, to the final exit report at the conclusion of the hire.

Through his volunteering and also Opening Halls, the business owner Damien has been able to shift several not-for-profits from a marginal existence to strong financial position.
