August 2024 marks CDI’s 30th Anniversary. We are honored to have supported hundreds of cooperatives in our 30 years as a nonprofit, whether it was helping to develop new cooperatives or strengthen existing ones. All of the cooperatives have one thing in common: They address the pressing needs in our communities including the need for affordable housing, sustainable food systems, and preserving local businesses and jobs.
In this timeline, we highlight examples of co-ops we’ve supported since we began documenting our work through our annual reports in 2010, including resident-owned communities, employee-owned cooperatives, and cooperative start-ups. Click the arrows in the timeline below to explore their stories!
