2012 Grant deadlines have not been announced yet. We do expect to have some funds available for both rural and urban startup support in 2012. Please do not submit requests at this time.
To get a general idea of the grant requirements, you can look at last year’s forms. There will be some changes in 2012 including eligibility for urban co-ops.

Does your co-op have members that would like to learn more about cooperative economy, history, and philosophy? Are they interested in finding out about different cooperative models and the industries in which they are applied? Are they curious as to how people in other parts of the world organize into cooperatives? Do they wonder if there is a cooperative solution to economic challenges in your community?

An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this onto a co-worker who was
conducting a little homework on this. And he in fact ordered

him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this topic here on your internet
site.
