Member Organization Benefits

Discounts Discounts, Discounts

The buying leverage of the 100+ organizations in the Co-Op allows you to purchase virtually anything you need at a bargain price not available to the average organization. In spring 2011, we hope to bring these discounts to the individual level as well. Additionally, all of our vendors are vetted and approved by our team at the Co-Op to ensure the highest quality and service.

Bill Consolidation

Why waste precious time going through a multitude of bills each month? In extending a line of credit to our members, we consolidate your expenses so you only have to pay ONE BILL each month saving you valuable time and effort.

Operational Resources

We can offer you experienced and proven tactics to help in the areas of Member Relations Management, Accounting, By-Law Development, Fundraising, Event Promotion and other overlooked operational aspects.  In helping your organization perform to its fullest potential, it only betters the community we live in.

Supporting Your Community

Membership means being part of our local community. A portion of all revenues is specifically dedicated to funding local projects. Our Board of Directors is active in helping others and the avenues for doing so will grow significantly as Nittany Co-Op grows.

You can play a more hands-on role in helping our community too if you like. There are local events run by our members that we can help you get involved with; alternatively you can organize your own group or event that we may be able to provide assistance with.

Having Your Say

Because we are owned by our members, you have a say in how the Co-Op is run at our annual stakeholder meeting as well as through the multiple feedback requests each year. You can help shape the way Nittany Co-Op does business and how we help the local community. We are always open to new ideas and would like to hear what you have to say.

So, if you share our values and principles, why not come join us?
