ICDC staff has extensive cooperative, small business and community development experience. As a small nonprofit, ICDC also draws on the resources of qualified consultants who have applicable industry or cooperative expertise.
To accomplish its mission, ICDC partners with a number of organizations such as:
“We began working as a multifarm agricultural cooperative in 2006 with assistance from ICDC and a grant for legal expenses. Without that support, our co-op growers wouldn’t have been able to confidently create its FarmFreshCSA project to direct market our naturally grown fresh produce.”
