Capital Impact Partners is excited to partner with National Cooperative Bank to launch the 12th Annual Co-op Innovation Award!
This year’s award aims to support organizations that use the cooperative model to expand economic opportunities and address issues facing their communities. You can apply for grants of up to $50,000 through June 12.
To apply, your organization must be a cooperative entity, nonprofit 501(c)(3) or have a nonprofit 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor.
Priority will be given to co-ops where the majority of members of the community served are living with low incomes. The award seeks to amplify innovative models that can be replicated locally, regionally or nationally. The award is intended to support early-stage projects and provide catalytic capital that will attract other grant dollars, policy change and public interest.
