Capital Impact Partners and National Cooperative Bank are excited to partner for the seventh annual Capital Impact Partners Co-op Innovation Award! This year, they are seeking out projects that are utilizing the co-op model to develop a new program or strategy to address the impact of the economic crisis on their community.

Priority will be given to food, worker and housing co-ops, but all sectors are invited to apply. Winning organizations will receive a one-year grant of up to $50,000 to advance cooperative development in communities of color and/or historically disinvested communities.

Letters of interest are due April 30th. Eligible organizations selected from respondents will be invited to submit a full application by June 15, 2021.
