Hello from Buffalo!

Cooperation Buffalo is spreading the word about our first educational event of the year, a virtual workshop titled What the H*ck Is Non-Extractive Financing? where we'll explain our unusual and solidarity-driven model of financing for start-up or converting worker co-ops. If interested, please join us on Zoom or share within your networks, especially those in the Buffalo and Rochester area.

Non-extractive finance is a powerful tool for those who are excluded from our extractive and exploitative financial system to achieve economic empowerment. 

Join Cooperation Buffalo on Wednesday, February 16 at 6p as we kick off our slate of 2022 Popular Education programming with “What the H*ck is Non-Extractive Financing?” At this webinar, we will introduce the practice of non-extractive financing, compare it to traditional forms of debt, and explore the financing options for cooperatives available through Cooperation Buffalo and our partners at Seed Commons. 

Are you: a co-op looking for financing to expand? A co-opreneur in need of seed money to start your business?  A group of workers in need of a loan to purchase your workplace from the current owner? Interested in how financing can play a role in building a democratic economy? Click here to register now!
