The Survey on Financing of Co-operatives was designed to gather information on the amounts and types of financing available to co-operatives, as well as the challenges they face in obtaining financing. Like traditional businesses, co-operatives create employment and sell goods and services to communities. However, co-operatives are differentiated by their objective to maximise social and community benefits, which may create additional challenges in obtaining financing compared with other businesses. The Survey on Financing of Co-operatives was a sample survey of co-operatives in Canada, excluding financial and housing co-operatives. These include community service co-ops, such as arts and recreation; child care; economic development; health; agriculture co-ops; natural resources and manufacturing co-ops; and retail co-ops. The survey was jointly sponsored by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Human Resources and Social Development Canada. Note: Excel file includes: A1.
