Celebrated by cooperatives nationwide during the month of October, National Co-op Month is an annual opportunity to raise awareness of a trusted, proven way to do business and build resilient, inclusive communities.
Under the theme “Built for This Moment,” this year’s Co-op Month is a reminder that cooperatives were created to address market failures and respond to structural crises. From electric cooperatives powering rural America when it wasn’t profitable to worker co-ops tackling a broken care economy, co-ops thrive in the face of uncertainty and challenge.
This year’s Co-op Month is an opportunity to amplify the cooperatives in your community that were built for this moment—the electric co-ops delivering essential broadband infrastructure to rural America, the food co-ops helping Americans navigate inflation, the housing co-ops creating lasting affordability and the worker co-ops preserving local businesses.
How was your co-op built for this moment?
Cooperatives nationwide are encouraged to use this year’s theme and logo in their communication and outreach activities throughout October. Please use the hashtags #CoopMonth and #BuiltForThisMoment in your social media posts.
2026 Co-op Month logos and other resources are hosted by NCBA CLUSA at coopmonth.coop.
