Support Cooperative Fund of the Northeast

As a non-profit, the Cooperative Fund of the Northeast depends on donations to support our special programs, particularly technical assistance and co-op development that strengthen resiliency and build the co-op ecosystem in BIPOC communities. While earned interest on loans covers our core operations, we couldn’t do that work without your contribution.

A global pandemic may not seem like the easiest time for strategic thinking. But the pandemic’s disparate impacts on Black and brown communities, women, and service sector workers compelled our Board and staff to create an ambitious roadmap for the next three years and beyond. 

The urgency of the moment encouraged us to be bold. Our new strategic plan draws inspiration from the movement for racial justice as well as the incredible humanity and resiliency of our region’s cooperatives through the toughest of situations.

In the coming year, your donation will help us double down on innovative programs designed to address racial inequity, like the Participatory Management Initiative, the Co-op Community Connection, bilingual webinars in English and Spanish, and grants to BIPOC-led co-ops.

We need your support to stay strong for the cooperative ecosystem we nourish. Your contribution will help us get our loan capital out the door and into the hands of the cooperative leaders who are building back better for our region.
