DescCompensation for key management with respect to Evergreen Business Services, Inc., Evergreen Cooperative Development Fund, LLC and other start-up cooperative ventures. Key management is charged with the responsibility to share their knowledge regarding cooperative ownership, capital planning and budgets, strategic planning, the importance and roles of company board of directors and committees, and other important business concepts with the board, staff, and employees of the cooperative companies. Former workers had the opportunity to apply for the jobs and those retained immediately received a $1/hour pay increase. The workers are eligible to become members of the cooperative association after 6-months employment and share in the profits of the company. This also prevented the laundry contract being awarded to an out-of-town provider and leaving the laundry facility located in the low-income area vacant.Desc

Evergreen Housing includes assistance with site inspections of the houses, providing the documentation worker-owners of their association need to apply, coordinating the housing and financial training needed to be completed prior to purchasing a house. The program is a joint program between Cleveland Housing Network & Evergreen Cooperative Corporation whereby Members can purchase a home primarily located in Greater University Circle, 0% interest, tax abatement, and the homes usually paid off within 5 years via payroll deductoin. At 12/31/17, 19 worker-owners purchased homes; eleven (11) were community re-entry, i.e. formerly in the penal system. Without this program, none of them would have had the opportunity to purchase a home.
THE FUND FOR EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIPDuring 2017, much time and effort was spent in responding to a RFP from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and the New World Foundation to receive a forgivable Program Related Investment (PRI) from their Quality Jobs Fund. The purpose of the award is to convert existing small business located in low-to-moderate income areas whose owner(s) want to retire to worker-owned businesses. In October 2017, we were one of three organizations awarded $5 million payable in five (5) tranches in the first round. The PRI documents were not finalized until April 2018. One million dollars of the award will be converted to a grant for every 100 created/retained jobs converted to worker-ownership.

Cessation of or significant change to any program service Part III line 3This Change in Activities was previously submitted in the then fiscal year-end June 30, 2013 tax return. This is an update to that submission. As stated in Attachment L to Form 1023, to further its exempt purpose of expanding economic opportunity and therein revitalizing certain disinvested neighborhoods of Cleveland, Ohio, Evergreen Cooperative Corporation (ECC) will provide funds to organizations through two different processes. First, ECC will provide access to low-cost capital to Evergreen Cooperative Businesses. Second, ECC itself will directly award grants to nonprofit organizations that work to help stabilize and improve low-income neighborhoods in Cleveland, Ohio. (Continued)It was further stated that it would provide loans to Evergreen Cooperative Businesses through Evergreen Cooperative Development Fund (ECDF).It further stated that while ECDF (and not ECC) would be providing the loans, but that ECC would actively be involved in ECDFs loan activity and would have representatives on the loan advisory board. (Continued)The original intent of ECCs Board was to have CCAF manage the fund with ECC being actively involved in order for it to build its capacity as a nonprofit organization that could successfully manage a community development loan fund. Subsequently, ECC has built that capacity and the Governance Committee of ECCs Board of Directors recommended that CCAF assign its sole membership interest to ECC and that ECC retain a Fund Administrator to manage the fund as directed by ECDFs Board of Directors. CCAF agreed to do so as it recognized that there were policies, procedures and systems in place to effectively and independently manage ECDF as provided below. (Continued)I. Loans to Evergreen Cooperative Businesses - Through use of the Evergreen Cooperative Development Fund, LLC (ECDF) (an Ohio nonprofit limited liability company), ECC (a Section 501(c)(3) public charity) through ECDFs Board of Directors and Fund Administrator will provide low-cost access to capital in the form of loans to the Evergreen Cooperative Businesses. While ECDF (and not ECC) is actually providing the loans, as described below, ECC will be involved in ECDFs loan activity by holding the sole membership (Continued)interest and the appointment of ECDFs Board of Directors.Purpose of ECDF - The purpose of ECDF will remain as originally submitted: The purpose of ECDF is to provide low-interest, predevelopment and long-term financing to Evergreen Cooperative Businesses within its target market through a dedicated community development revolving loan fund. The goal is to improve the neighborhoods of Clevelands Greater University Circle and other City of Cleveland low-income areas by investing in the start-up of businesses closely linked to the procurement needs of area anchor institutions (in particular, hospitals and universities), while at the same time creating living wage jobs and promoting economic opportunities for residents living within its targeted low-income neighborhoods. (Continued)ECDF serves a unique role in community economic development in that it is principally a debt fund that provides formation capital for starting a group or network of self-sustaining cooperative businesses. ECDF provides flexible capital at and before start-up to Evergreen Cooperative Businesses that traditional lending and private equity would not support. The goal is to have these loans repaid to ECDF by the Evergreen Cooperative Businesses; the repaid funds will then be used to finance additional start-ups, fostering the creation of a sustainable community development loan fund. (Continued)Governance of ECDF - ECDF will be governed by the Board of Directors who will appoint the Fund Administrator. The Fund Administrator of ECDF remains the same as originally submitted, Rosalyn Ciulla (the Manager) who is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the ECDF. The Board of Directors currently consist of five (5 members); one (1) member is independent of ECCs Board. All have the background and experience to review and approve investments. Ms. Ciulla underwrites and recommends the loans for approval to the Board of Directors who also serve as ECDFs loan committee.Loan Legibility and Loan Terms and Conditions - Loan Legibility and Loan Terms and Conditions remain consistent with the original application. Policies and Procedures have been developed (Continued)and reviewed by members of ECCs Board who found them to be detailed and comprehensive.
