How will your organization benefit?

Your organization will save money through joint purchasing in these and other areas: financial services, training materials, consultation, hardware and software, fax machines, cell phone airtime, accreditation processes. You'll benefit from business leadership training programs and consultation; from new opportunities to work with the government based on a sector-wide relationship; and from the leadership the Co-op will provide in new and innovative business systems.

Purchasing Power
Accumulated purchasing power can add value to your services. This could extend to financial services; transportation costs, training materials, hardware and software, communication, etc.

Best Practices
Your organization may have developed some 'best business practices'. Other organizations have done so as well. Bringing all those best practices will help community service organizations to be more effective.

Information Systems
Your organization will likely face increasing costs on information systems, databases and data processing requirements. The Co-op will support implementation of new and co-operative arrangements of these services wherever it makes sense.

Risk Management
Your organization may be managing more risk and doing more complicated business with the provincial government. Requirements for accountability, quality and service standards increase. The Co-op can work with government, piloting and testing new technologies and processes on members' behalf.

Leadership
Board and executive leadership is critical to keep your organization strong. The Co-op can support practical business leadership training and consultation that meets your needs as a non-profit organization.

New Solutions
Your organization will be providing new solutions to critical issues in the community. The Co-op membership will facilitate innovative delivery systems - across agencies and across communities.
