Help Your 2007 Taxes and Help Your Sierra Vista Food Co-op...Make a Donation

The Cooperative Development Fund of CDS (CDS) is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization with offices in Madison, Wisconsin and St. Paul, Minnesota. The mission of CDS is to support, build and strengthen organizations that contribute to cooperative and sustainable development.

You can now make charitable donations (tax-free!) to the Sierra Vista Natural Foods Cooperative through CDS. Click here for a donation form. While the form says "cooperatives in southern Arizona" as a donation option, please note that as your Sierra Vista Natural Foods Cooperative is the only cooperative in the area in the "pre-development" stage, any donations at this time would be solely for our benefit.

Since its founding in 1985, CDS has worked with many types of cooperative businesses including retail food stores, agriculture, senior housing, renewable energy, forestry and community development. As a tax exempt organization, charitable contributions to CDS are deductable to the fullest extent of the law. Donors may claim the donation on their federal and/or state income tax filings and may be eligible for a charitable deduction based on their income status and other factors.
