What Cooperation Cannon River does
Mission
The primary mission of Cooperation Cannon River's (dba cooperation northfield) is to create social and environmental justice through grassroots organizing and direct democracy in minnesota. We do this in three key ways: youth organizing through our program young people's action coalition, which supports highschool and middle school student activists in southern minnesota in making social change in their schools and communities. Worker cooperative support through training and technical assistance for local green worker cooperatives, particularly in the growing sector of compost collection and compost processing, as well as free range poultry production. Climate justice organizing through engaging minnesota climate activists in the movement for renewable energy and to stop the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure. We educate and organize communities in opposition to fossil fuel infrastructure expansion, while promoting investment in renewable energy in minnesota.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
2025 was a steady year for Cooperation Cannon River. We continued engaging minnesota residents through art and community building. We organized gatherings to share resources and knowledge for starting cooperatives, starting mutual aid projects, and tenants rights. Community art builds continue to be events we support regularly, adding beauty and hope to our neighborhoods. This year, we updated our mission statement to better reflect how our charitable work has transformed in response to community needs. Our small organization has strived for a big impact with the resources we have, and we receive a lot of gratitude for the work we are able to uplift. And we are proud to continue pursuing our mission in 2026 and beyond.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $45k to $139k (+212%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
97% of COOPERATION CANNON RIVER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund COOPERATION CANNON RIVER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 85% · 2022 56% · 2023 76% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $44k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
