The Center for Nonprofits at St. Mary's is a multi-partner venue that houses nearly 60 agencies providing health, education and human services to people living in Northwest Arkansas. By eliminating duplication of services and focusing resources on community impact versus capital campaigns, nonprofit organizations housed at the center are able to more effectively serve the community. Our focus is to provide below-market-rate leases for nonprofit organizations in a space that encourages collaboration and provides easy access to services for the public.

We provide physical office space, including classroom and meeting rooms, amenities and support services to our tenant organizations. Our model supports community development by providing a professional environment in which organizations focusing on health, social, and community services can collaborate to make a positive impact.

Our 13-acre campus, including the former St. Mary’s hospital, convent and outbuildings, totals nearly 300,000 square feet along South 13th Street and West Poplar in downtown Rogers.

The history of the St. Mary's building has been one of healing, helping and leaning since its beginnings in the late 1950's as Rogers, Arkansas' first public hospital.

In October 2008, Mercy Health System donated the former St. Mary's Hospital campus, which includes six out buildings, to the Jones Trust for the establishment of a Center for Nonprofits.  This donation provides a unique opportunity to expand the vision of the Jones Trust into Benton County and develop a regional example for sustainability through the re-use of the buildings, increased operating efficiencies, and increased service capacity for the nonprofit tenants.

By reducing the number of capital campaigns, partner organizations and local funders are expected to save at least $20 million in capital costs by relocating to the Center. 

The Jones Trust is privileged to partner with the the following nonprofit organizations by offering them rental rates below market value, which allows them to better serve our community.
