Co-operatives
Vancity invests in co-operative businesses through our high impact lending and investment programs. We support co-operatives to be successful by providing products, programs, and services to help them grow— from early planning to start-up and launch, right through to sustainability and expansion.
We’re interested in co-ops with missions focused on social, environmental, economic or cultural impact. This can include delivering products or services to meet a mission, providing local employment or jobs for individuals facing barriers to employment, or generating revenues in support of a not-for-profit operation.
