Department of Agriculture	HOWEVER, STARTING AND SUSTAINING A COOPERATIVE TAKES MORE THAN A GOOD IDEA. GROUPS NEED RELIABLE INFORMATION, SOUND BUSINESS PLANNING, STRONG GOVERNANCE, EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP, AND ONGOING SUPPORT. THESE NEEDS ARE NOT UNIQUE TO MONTANA. RURAL COMMUNITIES AND COOPERATIVES ACROSS THE REGION FACE MANY OF THE SAME CHALLENGES INVOLVING SUCCESSION, WORKFORCE SHORTAGES, ACCESS TO SERVICES, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, AND CHANGING MARKETS. THIS PROJECT WILL HELP ADDRESS THOSE SHARED NEEDS WHILE SHOWING HOW COOPERATIVES CAN CONTRIBUTE TO STRONGER LOCAL ECONOMIES, GREATER FOOD ACCESS, RESPONSIBLE USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES, AND MORE RESILIENT RURAL COMMUNITIES. IT WILL ALSO ADDRESS THE NEED TO EDUCATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND THOSE ADJACENT TO COOPERATIVES (SUCH AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPERS AND EXTENSION AGENTS) ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING COOPERATIVES AND THE WORK BEHIND STARTING ONE WITH SOUND FOUNDATIONAL SUPPORT AND SYSTEMS.MCDC WILL CARRY OUT THIS WORK BY BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER, LISTENING TO COMMUNITY AND INDUSTRY NEEDS, AND CONNECTING COOPERATIVE KNOWLEDGE WITH PRACTICAL BUSINESS AND EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT. MCDC WILL WORK WITH COOPERATIVES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPERS, UNIVERSITIES, YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS, INDUSTRY EXPERTS, AND RURAL LEADERS TO PROVIDE TRAINING, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, DIGITAL RESOURCES, INTERNSHIPS, AND HANDS-ON LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH COLLEAGUES IN NEBRASKA, MINNESOTA, WISCONSIN, SOUTH DAKOTA, TEXAS, AND OTHER STATES WILL ALLOW US TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES, LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER, REDUCE DUPLICATION, AND DEVELOP RESOURCES THAT CAN BE ADAPTED FOR DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AND COOPERATIVE SECTORS.THROUGH THIS PROJECT, MCDC WILL HELP EXISTING COOPERATIVES STRENGTHEN THEIR BOARDS AND PREPARE FOR LEADERSHIP TRANSITIONS; GUIDE COMMUNITIES AND ENTREPRENEURS CONSIDERING A COOPERATIVE (OR HECK, EVEN LEARNING ABOUT A COOPERATIVE MODEL); EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES IN AGRICULTURE, FOOD DISTRIBUTION, FORESTRY, MINING, AND ENERGY; AND INTRODUCE YOUNG PEOPLE TO COOPERATIVE PATHWAYS. MCDC WILL TRACK PARTICIPATION, GATHER FEEDBACK, FOLLOW THE PROGRESS OF THE BUSINESSES AND GROUPS ASSISTED, AND SHARE WHAT IS LEARNED THROUGH STATEWIDE, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL NETWORKS.ONE OF THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITIES--AND JOYS--OF THIS PROJECT IS CREATING PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH LASTING VALUE ACROSS MULTIPLE SECTORS, STATES, AND GENERATIONS. SUCCESS WILL MEAN STRONGER COOPERATIVES, RETAINED RURAL BUSINESSES AND JOBS, NEW LOCALLY OWNED ENTERPRISES, EXPANDED MARKETS FOR PRODUCERS, BETTER-PREPARED LEADERS, AND MORE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO CAN SEE A FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES IN RURAL COMMUNITIES.	$525K	FY2026	Sep 2026 – Sep 2028	Open →
