Cooperatives have been changing the face of doing business for over 150 years. That's because when you join a cooperative, you're choosing a business that is organized, owned and controlled by the very people who use it. And those people can actually help shape and grow their cooperative to meet the changing needs of members.
Over 100 million people are members of more than 48,000 cooperatives in the United States today. They've organized themselves to provide goods and services in nearly every sector of our economy.
But that isn't all. Cooperatives are partners in our community, investing in economic development and human involvement that will keep our hometowns and rural areas alive and well in years ahead. Working together, cooperative members are reaching goals they never could have attained on their own.
Growth. Service. Partnership. That's the cooperative form of business.
