Co-operatives First
Share
Co-operatives First is a non-profit organization funded by Federated Co-operatives Limited and the Co-operative Retailing System. Founded in 2015, the organization provides co-op start-up resources, such as feasibility studies, business plans, and
incorporation support to rural and Indigenous co-op entrepreneurs across western Canada. Our goal is to help leaders in these communities build new businesses, grow local economies, and support community development.
Co-ops don't get created without someone leading the way. Over the past 10 years, we've worked with many "co-op champions" who are at the forefront of making change in their communities. Lindsay Alliban, an economic development officer in Southwest Saskatchewan, is a firm believer in the potential and value of rural communities — and the co-op model's ability to create local solutions.

💰 How does a co-op distribute its profits to its members? It's not about how much of the business you own, but how much you contribute to it.
