The Evergreen Cooperatives of Cleveland, Ohio are pioneering innovative models of job creation, wealth building, and sustainability. Evergreen's employee-owned, for-profit companies are based locally and hire locally. We create meaningful green jobs and keep precious financial resources within our community. Our workers earn a living wage and build equity in their firms as owners of the business.
Evergreen is a partnership between the residents of six of our city's neighborhoods and some of Cleveland's most important "anchor institutions" -- the Cleveland Foundation, the City of Cleveland, Case Western Reserve University, the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and many others. Help us build community wealth to transform Cleveland and change lives.
Support the growing network of Evergreen Cooperatives. Together, we can transform our community.

Cleveland suffers from too much state control and Govenrment intervention in the economy.
All these well meaning collaborations with state offices & businesses will end up exploding in your face, just like Solyndra did.
You yanks need to wake up and call for an end to this.

Oh do I love to hear about Worker Ownership Cooperatives opening up. I've been planting seeds about The Mondragon Cooperative of the Basques of Spain for years. Mondragon owns its own bank and Collage too.

I thought most Americans would be terrified by this 'socialist' experiment :P? Joking, its great to see cooperatives taking root in america- finally workers will have a larger say in their future and in fulfilling the 'american' dream.
