About This Cause
NWCDC is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, providing technical assistance to cooperative ventures in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Our work is supported through donations and grants that leverage local resources as well as fee for service projects. NWCDC provides guidance, facilitation, and access to information and tools that enable effective democratic governance and management. Our work helps to build business ownership, sound management practices, and economic health, drawing upon a variety of cooperative models. NWCDC specializes in assisting residents of manufactured home parks in converting their park to cooperative ownership, conversion of existing businesses into either worker, consumer, or multistakeholder cooperatives, and the development of home care agencies owned and operated by the caregivers as a cooperative. NWCDC also provides several educational opportunities including annual start-up co-op academies, conversion academies, and special topic symposiums on the management of cooperatives.
