Collectivity = Cooperative

Since its inception in 2014, Collectivity has been organized as a multi-stakeholder cooperative designed to meet both economic and social goals of our community, by meeting the needs of its member-owners.

In June 2023 we activated the Coworker Member group of our cooperative and have been thrilled with the increase in workplace democracy through shared ownership and shared profits. We aim to join the movement to ‘build a better world through cooperation’. Collectivity sees this future realized by creating opportunities for more of our community to participate and benefit from our business. We believe system-level change can only happen if we work together and the more representation around the table, the better the results for project goals, and the community at large. With this in mind our sights are set to activate more member-groups as our cooperative continues to grow.

What is a Cooperative?

A worker co-op is a business that prioritizes workers and community benefits. A cooperative is a voluntary association of people who come together to meet their shared economic, social, and cultural needs.

Unlike traditional companies, workers in these co-ops share profits, have a say in decisions, and often help manage the business through democratic practices. This model creates sustainable jobs, builds wealth, and supports community development, especially for those with limited access to business ownership or stable work.
