In addition to providing direct financing, our co-op has established partnerships with other financing organizations, including co-ops and lending agencies, that share our commitment to the local economy. By leveraging these partnerships and collaborating to tailor lending solutions, we can offer capital solutions rooted in the community, ensuring that financial support remains aligned with local needs and values.

This collaboration boosts community trust, expands financial opportunities, and supports sustainable economic growth without relying on big banks.
