Our first member owners!
In December 2025 PowerUp welcome our first official member-owners: St. John's AME, Elizabeth Baptist Church, Northwest Neighborhoods CDC, and Cleveland Owns. This is an important step towards stepping into our power at a member-owned purchasing cooperative.
The new member-owners of PowerUp Purchasing Cooperative!
In 2026 we will welcome new member-owners. You can learn more about what it means to be a member-owner of PowerUp here.
We'll also host PowerUp Parleys, our gathering for all participants and member-owners of PowerUp. Our first is in April - more info coming soon.
We reached another milestone in 2025: We've enabled 59 nonprofits to sign more than 120 contracts for electric, gas, waste hauling, property insurance, copiers, and accounting services. If you're interested in any of these programs, please let me know or visit our partner at cpa.coop to upload bills.
