NCBA CLUSA Sustain and Grow Campaign

Help NCBA CLUSA raise $2.5 million to build a stronger, more resilient cooperative future

For 109 years, the National Cooperative Business Association CLUSA International (NCBA CLUSA) has united Americans who use cooperatives to build resilient businesses, thriving communities and a better world. We’ve advocated for policies that enable more people to use co-ops to capture economic opportunities, while raising public awareness of the cooperative difference.

And since 1953, we’ve equipped millions of people around the world with the tools they need to build sustainable, shared prosperity. Our development work in nearly 100 countries and here in the U.S. has introduced cooperative solutions to hunger, education, affordable housing, dignified work and other global challenges. Our advocacy work kept these investments top-of-mind in the halls of Congress.

But our work to develop, advance and protect cooperatives is under threat. The sudden, unexpected termination of most of our foreign and domestic projects previously funded by the U.S. Government gutted our development work, cutting half our annual revenue… overnight.

We’ve responded swiftly and responsibly, making the hard decision to downsize staff, close offices and restructure for sustainability. But this moment demands more than cuts. It calls for investment.
