CDF Hurricane Irene Recovery Fund

The Cooperative Development Foundation (CDF) has launched a Hurricane Irene Recovery Fund. The fund will direct tax-deductible contributions specifically to individuals and coperative businesses along the East Coast and throughout New England who have experienced losses. The fund will also seek to assist organic farmers who are prime suppliers to food cooperatives. The fund’s first contributions included $5,000 from the National Consumer Cooperative Bank and $5,000 from the National Cooperative Grocers Association.
