Make An Impact

Help Your Local Community Thrive

The Investment Co-op is an organization comprised of community-minded individuals who wish to diversify a portion of their investment portfolios into new and existing local businesses and projects.

Why Invest Locally?

  • Know Where Your Money Goes
  • Get Connected To Your Investments
  • Support Local Businesses
  • Celebrate Their Success

Local investments tend to generate not only employment and economic activity but also civic pride and new attitudes about local ability to drive positive community change.

Creston & District residents can become a member of the Investment Co-op at any time by purchasing a one-time, redeemable $500 membership share. Members can then purchase up to three $1,500 investment shares, which are loaned to local businesses.

Benefits Of Membership:

  • Have the opportunity to invest in local ventures;
  • Be an owner of the Investment Co-op and share in profits made through local loans;
  • Take part in Board nominations and Annual General Meetings;
  • Participate by sitting on the Board, the Investment Committee, or being a mentor to a business; and
  • Contribute directly to Creston & District community economic development.

Each of us brings capital, skills and knowledge to our community.

Let’s pool these resources together and add a new element of economic vibrancy at home!
