Community Investment Fund

Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) is a co-operative that supports other co-operatives that serve people in Western Canada. We are a local employer and part of the Co-operative Retailing System which, along with about 200 independent retail co-operatives, helps build, feed and fuel communities.

We care about our families, friends and neighbours, as well as the communities where we live, work and play.

This fund is administered by employee-led committees in Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina and Winnipeg.
