CHS Foundation awards NASCO $26,000

We are pleased to announce that NASCO has been awarded two grants through the CHS Foundation’s 2016 Cooperative Education Grants Program. We have been generously awarded $10,000 to support NASCO’s annual Cooperative Education & Training Institute, and a $16,000 capacity building grant to grow NASCO's resource and program development capacity to more sustainable levels.

Online Video Resources

For the past year, in partnership with the Toolbox for Education and Social Action and with the support of the CHS Foundation, NASCO staff have been creating cooperative educational videos on a variety of key topics. We’re quite happy to announce that forty videos have been produced to date and are now available on our website.

Submit Resources to our Library

One of the most valuable assets of the cooperative movement is our collective knowledge, and NASCO’s Shared Resource Library, a constantly growing collection of documents and files, is a tool for sharing that knowledge. Our library relies upon your contributions. Please follow this link to share your co-op’s governance documents, member education materials, and resources.

NASCO Properties (NP) finalized the purchase of four co-op properties in Illinois last week, bringing our collective ownership portfolio to 20 total buildings. NP welcomes these properties into its unique structure as a “co-op of co-ops,” which leverages equity from the buildings it owns to provide purchasing collateral to new or existing groups.
