Owners: Meet the $2,000 match and build our Chico Cooperative Community Fund!
In order to celebrate Co-op Month, CNFC’s October Round Up recipient is our own Chico Co-op Community Fund. The Chico Co-op Community Fund is an endowment that will provide a long-term source of funds that our Co-op can use to support local non-profit organizations. We partner with almost 50 other food co-ops in the Cooperative Community Fund Program.
We're also honored to be receiving additional matching challenges from some of our cherished cooperative partners. Frontier Co-op (source of many wonderful spices, herbs, and teas), and Equal Exchange (a fantastic distributor that works with producer cooperatives all around the world) have pledged an additional $1,000 to the Co-op Community Fund.
In addition, the Chico Natural Foods Co-op will be matching the Round Up funds with a contribution of our own, up to $1,000. Every penny donated by shoppers through Round up will be matched 2:1 by CNFC and our partners (up to $2,000). We want to thank Equal Exchange, Frontier, and Twin Pines for so wonderfully embodying the sixth cooperative principle: cooperation among cooperatives. Together, we can accomplish so much!
