The board of the Rooted Carrot Co-op takes the fiscal health of the co-op very seriously. Monthly financial reports allow the board to closely monitor the income and expenses, with the goal of opening a cooperative grocery always at the forefront. The May meeting of the board included work on the proposed fiscal year 2025 budget. Many thanks to Gina Brown, past treasurer, and our current treasurer Allie Hartz for their leadership on this!
The Grant Committee is exploring some exciting grant opportunities on the horizon. While we did receive word that the RCCM was not awarded the grant that was mentioned in the April Garlic Press, our application was so impressive to the committee that RCCM was one of the top 3 finalists! This affirms the mission and direction we are heading, and also is recognition for the Grant Committee’s efforts!
This is just a small sample of the many ways the Rooted Carrot Co-op board and committees continue the work of building support, creating important connections, and fulfilling the mission of the Rooted Carrot Co-op. As a board, we appreciate all who are along on the journey.
