Funds for the Rural Cooperative Development Grant (RCDG) program have not been released (typically applications open in early June). This program is one of the main reasons the worker cooperative sector has grown in the past decade, providing access to free technical assistance to cooperatives through cooperative development organizations.
The USFWC encourages cooperators to reach out to their representatives expressing support for the program, especially if you live in a district of a House or Senate Appropriations Committee.
