Cooperative Benefits
Members Receive Multiple Benefits Based on their Collaborative Donation as an Investment
Cooperative Membership Benefits
As a member-owner or stakeholder in our nonprofit cooperative there are a number of benefits which are provided to those who join us as well as dividends (or take-aways) that are provided to those who engage in our endeavor to Unify. Because we are a nonprofit and based on cooperative participation that serves causes for the greater good of the community, none of these benefits involve cash payments back to members; however that is not to say that members cannot use these benefits to reduce their own state and federal taxes, offset carbon footprints, receive premiums, get discounts, participate in activities without additional cost, or be recognized within the community with awards. We believe the benefits outweigh the value of the donations and membership dues for the programs we are offering through the model of the Unify Cooperative.
Unify Cooperative: Where Membership Empowers Us and the Community
At Unify Cooperative, we believe in the power of collective actions. By becoming a member-owner, you're not just joining an organization, you're investing in a thriving future for Berea, Big Hill, Irvine and the surrounding ecosystem. Here's what sets us apart:
Membership with Meaning: Your membership transcends financial gain. It grants you ownership, a voice in decision-making, and access to exclusive benefits that enrich your life and contribute to a better community ethic.
Dividends Beyond Dollars: We offer a unique "dividend" package – a combination of tangible benefits and the satisfaction of contributing to positive change. Reduce your carbon footprint, connect with like-minded individuals, receive valuable discounts, and gain recognition for your efforts.
Tax Advantages & Financial Rewards: Many of our membership benefits translate to financial advantages. You may be eligible for tax deductions on your membership dues and donations, while simultaneously reducing your carbon footprint and saving money through exclusive discounts.
Unparalleled Value: We believe the value of your membership far surpasses the cost. You'll gain access to programs, events, and resources that enhance your well-being, state of mind, while actively contributing to a more sustainable future for everyone.
