The Cooperative Council of the Carolinas (CCC) and Carolina Common Enterprise (CCE), in partnership with NCGrowth at UNC Chapel Hill, are conducting a study to better understand the economic footprint of cooperatives across North and South Carolina. If you’re part of a cooperative in the Carolinas, we need your voice to tell the full story.
Take the Carolina Cooperative Impact Survey
Why is this important?
State officials and community leaders have asked for clear, compelling data about how cooperatives contribute to our regional economy. With your input, we can:
- Demonstrate the real-world impact of cooperatives across the Carolinas
- Advocate more effectively at the state level
- Strengthen support for cooperative development
- Showcase the cooperative model to policymakers and key stakeholders
What you need to know
- The survey should be completed only once per cooperative organization.
- All responses will be aggregated and shared anonymously — your organization’s identity will never be disclosed publicly.
Your participation is essential. By contributing to this important initiative, you’re helping to build a stronger, more informed foundation for cooperative growth and advocacy throughout the Carolinas.
