Cooperatives often rely on a single stream of funding to survive — but what if we could build wealth and resilience by blending many forms of capital, not just financial ones?
Join us for this special LevelUp Coops Lunch & Learn exploring Integrated Capital, a framework developed by the Boston Impact Initiative that helps mission-driven businesses align financial, social, cultural, and community resources to grow equitably.
In this panel discussion, we’ll unpack how Integrated Capital works in practice through stories from funders, co-op developers, and cooperative members across NYC and the Hudson Valley. Together, we’ll explore how diverse types of capital — money, knowledge, relationships, and trust — can strengthen our cooperative ecosystem.
This event also sets the stage for Part 2: The Integrated Capital Cards Experience (coming early 2026), where participants will put this framework into action through a hands-on strategy game that maps out real financing pathways.
What You’ll Learn:
- The five types of capital and how they build cooperative power
- Real-world examples of co-ops using integrated capital to grow
- Tools for thinking beyond debt and grants — toward holistic wealth
- How to prepare for our upcoming “Integrated Capital Cards” workshop
Whether you’re a worker-owner, developer, or funder, this conversation will help you reimagine what capital really means — and how to make it work for your cooperative.
✳️ Panelists (TBD – Confirmed list coming soon)
