| $5,730 | EVERGREEN TRAINING AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMIn 2013, the Kendeda Fund awarded the Evergreen Cooperative Corporation a two-year grant of $200,000 ($100,000/year) to underwrite the development and initial implementation of a comprehensive training and leadership development program for Evergreen worker-owners, cooperative board members and other key stakeholders through the Evergreen system.The purpose of the training program is to prepare Evergreen stakeholders to be effective in their respective cooperatives, engaged participants in the Evergreen system, and inspired leaders in their communities. The training program will do this by engaging all stakeholders in mastering the skills necessary for successfully developing, working in, managing, and governing the Evergreen Cooperative businesses. Impact and Assessment:During the first year of the grant period, the following was accomplished:Retained consultants Hilary Abell and Chanell Scott to develop the training framework and curriculum content. Abell has 20+ years of experience in the U.S. cooperative field, including 8 years as executive director of the WAGES cooperative network in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is also an important thought leader in the field and is the author of a report, Worker Cooperatives: Pathways to Scale, that was published in June 2014 by The Democracy Collaborative. Scott is a former National Urban Fellow with the Cleveland Foundation with work experience in social enterprise and workforce development. Designed Phase 2 of the Training Program, with a focus on training employees in four curriculum topic areas and providing leadership training for supervisors and crew leaders in all three Evergreen companies. The four curriculum topic areas are Life Skills (starting with communication and self-management), Business Skills (starting with finances and governance), Evergreen Foundations (starting with mission, vision and cooperation), and Job Skills.Used the advice of a prior formed Advisory Group engaged in 2013 to further enhance the Training Program, which included Joselyn DiPetta, a social inclusion and life skills expert with Axialent; Phyllis Robinson, a worker-owner at Equal Exchange who was a popular educator in Central America for many years; Peggy Powell of PHI, thought leader for the coaching supervision model used at CHCA; Steve Dubb and Keane Bhatt of The Democracy Collaborative; and Alex Moss and Linshuang Lu from Praxis Consulting Group. The curriculum on Life Skills and Diversity and Inclusion was further developed; trained 52 employees, representing all three companies, on these topics. Because training is highly interactive, small groups were most effective for learning, and workshops had an average of ten to twelve participants. In all, our consultants trained three groups at ECL, two at GCG and one at E2S, for a total of six three- hour sessions on each topic. Trainees were enthusiastic and eager to continue with the training. They also provided useful feedback to the training team, enabling us to refine and finalize each curriculum after its pilot run. Completed development on the curriculum for Personal and Business Finances. This curriculum was taught in three sessions totaling eight hours. It taught employees financial concepts through the lens of family budgeting and personal financial goal setting, and provide an overview of key business finance topics including profit and loss, how to read a financial statement and the economics of one unit. The financial training used each companys dashboard to deepen employees understanding of Key Performance Indicators. These curriculums were delivered to all three cooperatives totaling 41 workers. |
| $5,412 | EVERGREEN HOUSING AND DRIVE TO SUCCESS PROGRAMS. Evergreen Housing includes assistance with site inspections of the houses, providing the documentation Members 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 through Cleveland Housing Network, 0% interest, tax abatement, and the homes usually paid off within 5 years. Drive to Success is organized through a Nissan dealership. Each Member leases a new car for 12 months, 3 months no payment, $200 escrowed via payroll deduction months 4-12, insurance & maintenance paid during that first year. At the end of the year, the Member can use the entire payroll deduction amount to either continue the lease, purchase the auto, or use it towards down payment for another car. Both programs have been very successful. At 12/31/14, 19 worker-owners purchased homes and 3 purchased automobiles through the program. Eleven (11) and the housing program and one (1) in the auto program 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. |

| Cessation of or significant change to any program service Part III line 3 | This 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).At the time of submission, ECDF was formed as an Ohio nonprofit limited liability company with a subsidiary of the National Development Council, Cleveland Cooperative Assistance Fund, as the sole member. 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)The manager interest in the sole owner limited liability company was assigned to ECC on May 2, 2014. ECDF is a disregarded entity for tax purposes thus is consolidated with ECCs 12/31/14 tax return. ECDF had no liabilities at the time of the assignment.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. |
