New York City Council’s budget for Fiscal Year 2015 will allocate $1.2 million for a new Worker Cooperative Business Development Initiative. This will fund the efforts of numerous organizations (including past and present New York Women’s Foundation grantee partners) to create 234 jobs in worker cooperative businesses by organizing education and training resources and by providing technical, legal and financial assistance. The Initiative also provides a comprehensive citywide effort to reach 920 cooperative entrepreneurs, provide for the start-up of 28 new worker cooperative small businesses, and assist another 20 existing cooperatives.
