Co-Op Dayton is a social enterprise incubator and community empowerment hub focused on building cooperative models for Black, blue collar, and other disenfranchised communities in Dayton, OH - with the intention of creating scalable models that can be replicated across the Midwest and around the country. Leveraging community organizing and popular education, innovative cross sector partnerships, and an evidence-based community ownership model, we are rebuilding the historically racialized and redlined community of West Dayton through creative solutions that are reflective of and accessible to everyone in our community. To date, our collaborative has driven more than $9M in investments to our neighborhoods, established a first of its kind community-owned grocery store in a neighborhood formerly impacted by food apartheid, and supported more than 20 enterprise teams in bringing their cooperatives to life.
