The Positive Change program raises money for local non-profit organizations working to better our community. We believe in the power of change and the power of community – Positive Change combines these two beliefs into one powerful program. The Positive Change program is one of the many ways the Co-op fulfills the seventh cooperative principle: Concern for Community.
Next time you check out, say “I’d like to round-up for Positive Change,” and we’ll round-up the total of your purchase to the nearest dollar, or you can donate any desired amount. Each month, the selected non-profit organization receives 100% of the donated funds, plus an additional mini grant from the Co-op (currently $400 each month). Annually, the Board of Directors selects one Positive Change recipient to receive an additional grant from our Cooperative Community Fund. Thank you for contributing to positive change and making a difference in our community!

October is National Co-op Month and we’re creating Positive Change for our Cooperative Community Fund (MCCF). In honor of Co-op Month, Organic Valley will match your October Positive Change donations to the Cooperative Community Fund up to $500, with an additional $500 match from MFC.
MFC’s Cooperative Community Fund is a Give Where You Live campaign administered by Twin Pines Cooperative Foundation (TPCF). TPCF invests the assets in cooperative development funds across the country – helping to grow food co-ops, credit unions, housing cooperatives, and other cooperative enterprises. As the fund grows, the interest earned is given annually to local organizations.
Not only does our Cooperative Community Fund help grow cooperative businesses across the United States, it also gives back to local non-profits working on issues related to sustainable agriculture and organic food, hunger and social issues, environmental protection, and/or cooperatives. Our Board of Directors selects one Positive Change recipient annually to receive an additional grant from the Cooperative Community Fund.
To date, our Cooperative Community Fund has generated the following community donations: 2020 Unete Immigrant Fire Relief Fund $624.21; 2021 Pollinator Project Rogue Valley $941.98; 2022 Children’s Advocacy Center $614.52; 2023 Rogue Farm Corps $749.59; 2024 Rogue Climate $1,043.42.
