Where Cooperation is at Work, Communities Prosper!

The mission of the Cooperative Development Fund of CDS is to help start and grow cooperative enterprises. We achieve it by educating about cooperatives, providing guidance to new and existing cooperatives, and by helping co-ops access philanthropic resources in their communities through grant writing and charitable contributions. In each of the last four years, the work of our staff has touched over 100 co-ops and a dozen startups in some meaningful way.

Our cost to fully pay for one hour of business counseling to a co-op is $85.  Our goal for 2022 is to raise $3,400 or more to fund a minimum of 40+ hours of free consultation time for start-up cooperatives. Please help us achieve this goal! So far, we have raised $2,190.00.
