Members of CooperationWorks, a national network of nearly 40 cooperative development centers and nearly 20 individual developers, work together to revitalize communities through effective cooperative enterprise development. Members provide expertise across all aspects of cooperative development, including feasibility analysis, business plan development, and training and education. CooperationWorks provides the network for developers to connect, engage in peer learning, sharing resources and expertise, and collaborate. CooperationWorks organized four ongoing collaborations for CooperationWorks members, including Intake and Outreach Pipeline, Rural Food Systems, Worker Cooperatives, and Real Estate Investment Cooperatives. These collaborations support members in community-driven learning, developing tools and shared best practices, and as spaces for peer workshops and case studies. CooperationWorks held an annual meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania attended by 24 individuals from 16 organizations and 16 states. This 3-day program included professional development training for building strong cooperative ecosystems, worker cooperative development, and mapping the economic and social impact of our work, as well as two day-long tours to cooperatives across in Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas, including Meadville. CooperationWorks continued to hold its flagship training, The Art and Science of Cooperative Development. WhileToolkit Implementation and Finance Fundamentals remained entirely online, Building Blocks was reintroduced as a hybrid program that included a 4-week virtual training and a 2-day in-person training. 25 people attended Session 1: Building Blocks, 18 attended Session 2: Toolkit Implementation, and 23 attended Session 3: Finance Fundamentals. These programs provide foundational training for new cooperative developers, including Co-op Business 101, Feasibility, Group Dynamics, Cooperative Governance, Intro to Co-op Sectors, Market Research and Business Planning, and Developing Cooperative Ecosystems. The in-person component of Building Blocks included a tour of five cooperatives around the Bay Area with different membership structures and operating in different sectors. Additionally, participants engaged in hands-on skill-building, including working through case studies and participating in Peer Clinicals. In 2023, CooperationWorks also started a 10-month mentorship program for historically underserved groups, as defined by the US Department of Agriculture, in partnership with the National Cooperative Business Association through their Strengthening the Cooperative Ecosystem program. This program ran from September 2023-June 2024 and included five two-hour workshops, bi-monthly community-building networking events, and final presentation in which mentees explored a cooperative or cooperative issue in depth. The program served eight mentees and had four mentors. 2500 122346 122346 Bijiibah Begaye President 2.00 0 John McNamara Vice President 2.00 0 Karen Tyler-Ruiz Vice President 1.50 0 Kim Coontz Director 1.50 0 RL Condra Director 1.50 0 Deb Trocha Director 2.00 0 Tamah Yisrael Treasurer 1.50 0 Kirstie Boyette Director 1.50 0 Davey Madison Director 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Alex Stone 1106 Russell Street Berkeley CA 94702 6199220430 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 9144 21147 23193 18876 8743 81103 155432 168317 148562 149572 174895 796778 3300 3648 119 7067 0 0 167876 193112 171874 168448 183638 884948 0 22000 2000 100 3000 27100 22000 2000 100 3000 27100 857848 372 396 341 476 506 2091 0 372 396 341 476 506 2091 0 0 168248 193508 172215 168924 184144 887039 0.96710 0.96570 0.00240 0.00230 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $663 Other Expenses.1003 Information Technology $920 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $7956 Other Expenses.1007 Conferences, Conventions, and Meetings $16319 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $2158 Other Expenses.1 Dues & Subscriptions $4018 Other Expenses.2 Bank & Payment Processing Fees $1420 Other Expenses.5 Materials & Supplies $188 Other Assets.1005 Accounts Receivable - Beginning $17050 Accounts Receivable - Ending $0 Other Assets.1006 Pledges and Grants Receivable - Beginning $100 Pledges and Grants Receivable - Ending $0 Other Assets.1011 Prepaid Expenses and Deferred Charges - Beginning $6429 Prepaid Expenses and Deferred Charges - Ending $471 Total Liabilities.1001 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Beginning $2722 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Ending $2537 Total Liabilities.1003 Deferred Revenue - Beginning $13500 Deferred Revenue - Ending $0 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Association of Cooperative Educators sponsorship.
