Patronage & Allocation

What is an allocation and a retirement?

 An allocation is made annually for each member-owner based upon their percentage of total cooperative revenue.

A retirement (refund) is the amount you receive back as a Capital Credit refund.  It is a percentage of your total capital credit balance.  The percentage to retire is decided upon annually, based upon the financial needs of the cooperative.
