1000 Friends of Cooperation

The Upper Midwest is home to several million owner-members who benefit from the work of their cooperatives. From among those millions, we are searching for 1000 friends who will be our partners in growing a vibrant cooperative economy in our region. Will you consider being one of them?

Individuals can support CDS' charitable and educational cooperative development work by making a contribution to our federally tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization, the Cooperative Development Fund of CDS. Contributions to this fund are used to deliver educational programs and business development assistance (especially in under-served areas), create innovative cooperative development approaches, and support the overall work of our organization. Contributions of any amount are welcome at any time, either by check or by online donation. All donations will be acknowledged with a written receipt, and all will be put to good use.

We are particularly interested in creating a committed community of partners who share our vision for an ever larger cooperative economy. To this end, please sign up to receive email updates on our work, and consider making an annual tax deductible contribution.

Checks should be made payable to:

Coop Development Fund of CDS
