Making a Difference Through Cooperation and Community!
Sustainable Contributions & Investment Program by the Unify Cooperative
The Unify Cooperative is committed to fostering a sustainable future for Berea and Big Hill, Kentucky. This extends beyond environmental practices to encompass a robust local contribution and membership investment program acknowledging contribution with a fractional land title and deed.
Purposeful Goals and Objectives
Retained Value for Members: Your fractional land ownership will hold lasting value. We will explore opportunities to appreciate the value of the Indian Fort Outpost property, potentially through strategic partnerships or development projects that benefit the cooperative and its members.
Environmental Protection: A portion of membership dues and donations will be allocated towards environmental initiatives. This could involve supporting local conservation efforts, promoting sustainable practices within the cooperative's operations (e.g., energy-efficient appliances, water conservation measures), or organizing educational workshops on environmental stewardship.
Cooperative Growth: Your contributions will directly fuel the cooperative's growth and development. Funds will be used for infrastructure improvements at the Indian Fort Outpost, expansion of program offerings, marketing initiatives to attract new members, and technology upgrades to enhance communication and member engagement.
Sustainable Member Empowerment: Unify Cooperative believes in empowering its members. We will explore ways to leverage your skills and experience through volunteer opportunities, educational workshops, or mentorship programs. Active participation will translate into increased influence on decision-making processes and potentially, tiered rewards or recognition programs.
Community Well-being: The cooperative's success is intrinsically linked to the well-being of the Berea and Big Hill communities. A portion of membership dues and donations will be allocated towards community initiatives such as supporting local businesses, sponsoring youth programs, or partnering with local non-profits to address social needs.
Sharing the Wealth to Build a Green Economy
The Unify Cooperative embraces the principles of a green economy, focusing on social equity, environmental responsibility, and economic viability. Our investment and membership program reflects this commitment.
Sustainable Local Community Support: We will prioritize partnerships with local businesses and organizations that share our values of sustainability and community development. This can include sourcing materials from local vendors, collaborating on educational programs, or jointly hosting events that promote a green lifestyle.
Regular Recreational Activities with a Sustainability Focus: The cooperative will offer a variety of recreational activities that encourage healthy living and environmental awareness. This could include guided hikes with a focus on local flora and fauna, community clean-up events, or workshops on sustainable gardening practices.
Conserving Green Spaces for the Community: The Indian Fort Outpost serves as a gateway to the natural beauty surrounding Berea and Big Hill. We will actively work to conserve these green spaces through responsible land management practices, advocating for local environmental protection initiatives, and educating members on the importance of biodiversity.
Alignment with National & International Sustainability Goals: Unify Cooperative's investment program will be designed to align with established national and international sustainable development goals (SDGs) set forth by the United Nations. This ensures our activities contribute to a broader vision of a more sustainable future for all.
Dividends Through Volunteerism: The cooperative recognizes the invaluable contribution of volunteer time. We will explore ways to reward active members who dedicate their time and skills to Unify's success. This could involve tiered membership benefits, priority access to programs, or even a share of the cooperative's profits (depending on future financial sustainability).
By participating in the Unify Cooperative investment program, you're not just making a personal investment; you're contributing to a thriving, sustainable future for Berea, Big Hill, and the surrounding environment.
