What will my money be funding?

A:

Opening our store! Your money will help us to pay for legal fees, marketing material, consulting services, permitting costs, equipment purchases, and the many other costs that come with opening a business. Remember that your membership is a contribution to the capital of the co-op. By pooling our money together, we are able to continue the start-up process and continually increase our attractiveness to investors, credit unions, and matching grant programs.
