Buffalo deserves an economy that works for all of us.
At Cooperation Buffalo, we support talented and driven workers to create equitable, dignified, and democratic workplaces. We’re building a resilient cooperative economy in Buffalo rooted in shared ownership, community control, and economic democracy.
But there are no shortcuts to building real worker and community power. Lasting change grows from consistent support - patient non-extractive lending, responsive technical assistance, and ongoing cooperative education that plants seeds for the future.
That’s why we’re launching STRONGER TOGETHER, our first-ever monthly donor campaign. When you give monthly to Cooperation Buffalo, your consistent support of our work allows us to keep showing up for the entrepreneurs and changemakers working to bring economic justice to Buffalo.
Our impact is stronger when we work together.
