Cooperative Fundof New England

2015 Annual Report

years FInancing co-opS

CFNE advances community-based, cooperative, and democratically owned enterprises with preference to those that serve low income communities through:

✪ provision of prompt financial assistance at reasonable rates;

✪ provision of an investment opportunity that promotes socially responsible enterprise; and

✪ development of a regional reservoir of business skills with which to assist and advise the above groups.

The Cooperative Fund of New England (CFNE) was founded in 1975 by co-op activists and social investors to provide financial and technical assistance to food cooperatives. Since then, the organization has expanded its focus, offering development loans and technical assistance to a wide range of co-ops and nonprofit groups that share CFNE’s vision of equality, justice, and social responsibility. A “virtual” organization, CFNE serves the New England region through an administrative office in North Carolina and four outreach offices in New England. In its 40 years of operation, CFNE has disbursed almost $42 million in over 800 loans to co-ops and community organizations without loss of any investor funds.

WHAT IS A COOPERATIVE?

DEFINITION A cooperative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprise. VALUES Cooperatives are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. They operate with the ethical values of openness, honesty, social responsibility, and caring for others.

OUR MISSION

Dear Fellow Cooperators: As we celebrate our 40th anniver-sary, we continue to have a major impact on cooperatives through-out New England, approving over 50 loans representing more than $4 million dollars in 2015. We financed the start-up and expan-sion of food co-ops as well as the conversion of businesses to work-er ownership. In 1975 the Cooperative Fund of New England was formed to provide access to capital for food cooperatives that could provide access to healthy food in underserved communities. We are still doing that work today and have expanded our work to providing access to capital to many other types of cooperatives. Over the past 40 years we have lent approximately $42 million through 800 loans to all sorts of coopera-tives including worker owner co-ops, housing co-ops, farmer co-ops, distributor co-ops, schools, communi-ty based nonprofits and many more. All these co-ops have grown the cooperative economy by providing healthy food access; creating or retaining quality jobs; and providing safe, affordable housing within their communities. Yes, 2015 was indeed an awesome year for CFNE! In 2015 we were again recognized by the US Treasury CDFI Fund as a leader in its Healthy Food Finance Initiative with an award of $1.25 million from the HFFI program and another $1 million from its Financial Assistance program. In addition, we are the national leader in lending to worker cooperatives and conver-sions. In the spirit of the cooperative movement we continue to share our knowledge and expertise with other like-minded lenders nationwide.As part of our 40th anniversary we celebrated with our borrowers, investors, board members, staff, and friends at special receptions after each board meeting all over New England. Regional receptions were held in Hadley and Boston, Massachusetts, White River Junction, Vermont, and Damariscotta, Maine. It was wonderful to see so many of our stakeholders and

supporters coming out to join us in celebrating 40 years of lending to the cooperative community. So many folks mentioned to us how important our early support was to their success, and how they would have not made it without that support. We would also like to take this time to thank our investors big and small who believed in us from day one. We are proud of the fact that we have not lost a single penny of investor dollars since we

began this journey. It is their financial support that really allows us to do the good work we do. It takes an extraordinary team to stay true to our values and provide a level of service that really sets us apart from other lenders. We begin by honoring an outstanding professional staff that work tirelessly to meet the needs of our cooperatives. They support our mission and are a wonderful group to be the face of CFNE in the market.It is important to recognize and thank our volunteer Board of Directors. They represent many sectors of the cooperative community (worker-owners, food co-ops, and technical assistance providers to co-ops) and bring talent, skill, and expertise to the table. In addition to attending Board meetings throughout New England they serve on active committees. Their volunteer hours dedicated to moving the CFNE mis-sion forward are truly appreciated and valued.But most importantly we are forever grateful to all our borrowers who had the trust, confidence, and willing-ness to do business with us. You are the reason we exist, and the reason we can celebrate forty successful years of financing co-ops! In cooperation,

Jon Reske Rebecca DunnBoard President Executive Director

“Congratulations on your efforts to build a sustainable organization that supports co-ops in New England, and beyond.”

Bruce Seifer

In 1975, the Cooperative Fund of New England made a strategic commitment to New England’s cooperatives and access to healthy food. Forty years later this legacy contin-ues by providing financing to start-up, new, and seasoned food co-ops; distributors; farmer co-ops; and nonprofits while connecting low-income consumers to healthy food sources. We created and co-lead the Healthy Food Access Initiative partnership with the Neighboring Food Co-op Association and Hunger Free Vermont. In the past forty years we’ve seen local ownership of food co-ops strengthen local food systems while trying to keep pace with the needs of low-income households. CFNE has played a leadership role in financing more than 90% of the food co-ops in New England and providing more than $25 million in this sec-tor of cooperatives alone from start-ups to expansions. We were an early innovator in the healthy food finance sector, and continue to innovate.

The last forty years has seen several ups and downs in the US economy and jobs fluctuating accordingly. Cooperatives, in general, create and retain jobs in local communities. Worker cooperatives are emerging as a stabilizing fac-tor for jobs as people seek not only rewarding work but also autonomy in their employment. As a forerunner CFNE started lending to work-er cooperatives in 1982. We are now seen as a national expert and lead the way in financing worker cooperative conversions. Such borrow-ers include Vermont Computing Co-op (VT) and Artisan Beverage Co-op (MA). With the ex-pansion of food co-ops, producer co-ops and worker co-ops over 40 years, CFNE’s financing has led to the creation/retention of more than 10,000 jobs in the region.

CFNE began in 1984 lending to all forms of cooperative housing and land trusts. Access to affordable housing remains a critical need in the region we serve and we are proud of our work in supporting housing. Loans made to housing coop-eratives, manufactured housing coop-eratives, and co-housing groups; land trusts; and housing-oriented, commu-nity-based nonprofits have resulted in the creation of more than 5600 units of affordable housing.

NETWORKS AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

A core principle of the co-op movement is “co-operation among co-ops” which recognizes that “cooperatives serve their members most effec-tively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, national, regional, and international structures.” CFNE works closely with co-ops, cooperative associa-tions, and community development organiza-tions building community and sharing ideas and resources across sectors.Partnerships with Massachusetts Growth Capital Corporation (MA) and the Broad Reach Fund (ME), for example, have awarded grant dollars that support technical assistance to small co-ops. Our work was cited by Democracy at Work Institute in two important publications: Suc-cessful Cooperative Ownership Transitions and The Lending Opportunity of a Generation: FAQ’s and Case Studies for Investing in Worker Co-op Conversions. We bring the idea of cooperation to all those with whom we network.

“It is building relationships between young people and important allies like CFNE that create a strong and shared inter-generational movement. Thank you for your years of dedication to this work and your support of #coopyouth!”

LOANS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015

The majority of loans funded by the Cooperative Capital Fund (CCF) have already been repaid. We can certainly consider CCF a successful experiment in providing long term, patient, unsecured capital to co-ops. All repayments are expected by 2017.

The development of CFNE’s new internal collateral pool will serve a similar function. CFNE will provide lesser and unsecured loans for co-ops as a capitalization option that performs like equity without changing a co-op’s member-owned and member-controlled integrity.
