Democracy has evolved. Get involved!

Have a local cause you want to spread online?

We help many cooperative associations and their missions by guiding them through the process of getting a website online. Many cooperatives may have online disadvantages due to financial reasons. We have come to resolve that problem. We can teach your cooperative how to start, manage, and run an online website and or shopping cart for free.

Starting a cooperative is a great way to make a difference in the world. Cooperatives solve problems in all areas of our community — education, arts & culture, human services, medicine & healthcare, religious organizations, and more.

The 7 Principals of Cooperative Associations

VOLUNTARY AND OPEN MEMBERSHIP

1. VOLUNTARY AND OPEN MEMBERSHIP

Cooperatives are voluntary organizations, open to all people able to use its services and willing to accept the responsibilities of membership, without gender, social, racial, political or religious discrimination.

DEMOCRATIC MEMBER CONTROL

2. DEMOCRATIC MEMBER CONTROL

Cooperatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members—those who buy the goods or use the services of the cooperative—who actively participate in setting policies and making decisions.

MEMBERS’ ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION

3. MEMBERS’ ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION

Members contribute equally to, and democratically control, the capital of the cooperative. This benefits members in proportion to the business they conduct with the cooperative rather than on the capital invested.

AUTONOMY AND INDEPENDENCE

4. AUTONOMY AND INDEPENDENCE

Cooperatives are autonomous, organizations controlled by their members. If the co-op enters into agreements with other organizations or raises capital from external sources, it is done so based on terms that ensure democratic control by the members and maintains the cooperative’s autonomy.

EDUCATION, TRAINING AND INFORMATION

5. EDUCATION, TRAINING AND INFORMATION

Cooperatives provide education and training for members, elected representatives, managers and employees so they can contribute effectively to the development of their cooperative. Members also inform the general public about the nature and benefits of cooperatives.

COOPERATION AMONG COOPERATIVES

6. COOPERATION AMONG COOPERATIVES

Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, national, regional and international structures.

CONCERN FOR COMMUNITY

7. CONCERN FOR COMMUNITY

While focusing on member needs, cooperatives work for the sustainable development of communities through policies and programs accepted by the members.
