FAQ’s

  • They are not! All community owners must pay annual dues to remain active in the cooperative, with access to voting rights and other benefits each year. While the one-time $50 “community owner” share makes you a lifetime owner of Commongrounds, cooperative dues are assessed annually and designate an owner as “in good standing.” A share brings you into a cooperative; annual dues maintain your participation.

  • Pay-as-you’re-able dues keep our cooperative accessible to all and provide the same great benefits regardless of contribution level, with a suggested minimum of $48/year to cover essential costs.

    Contributing beyond the suggested minimum further supports Commongrounds’ execution of our mission. Your enhanced dues will:

    Support administrative & operational costs that keep our cooperative and building running

    Contribute to providing community amenities & programming in food, family, arts, and wellness

    Assist in subsidizing accessible ownership for fellow birds in our flock

  • The owner’s area will replace the Coworks app used to facilitate dues payments this past year. In order to login, current dues-paying owners must make a dues purchase on the website and set up an account.

    We encourage you to renew your dues now for easier access to your benefits as soon as possible! You’ll be emailed a discount code to prorate your 2024 annual dues based on your renewal month. Enter that code at checkout, then create your account and enjoy!
