COVID-19 Co-op Emergency Fund & Resources

To help the cooperative ecosystem weather the Covid-19 crisis, Cooperative Fund of New England launched a $1M Emergency Cooperative Enterprise Relief Loan Fund. The Fund is for cooperatives in New England and parts of New York State who are seeing a dramatic loss of customers and revenue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also offered a 60-day suspension of payments to our borrowers that were at highest risk and greatest need. If your co-op is struggling as a result of the pandemic, please reach out to us.

As a 100% remote workplace, we are fully operational and remain available to assist with your financing, investing, and business technical assistance needs.
