Co-ops across the country have raised funds from their owners for centuries and the current pandemic has not slowed them down. In fact, co-ops have raised over $4 MILLION in the last 2 years from co-op owners. The Fredericksburg Food Co-op, an excellent example, raised $2.4 million dollars from owners and opened their beautiful store this spring. Rooted Carrot Co-op Market wrapped up the first phase of their capital campaign in March with over $700,000, while Prairie Food Co-op just finished a campaign that topped the $1 million dollar mark.
