THE COOPERATIVE ADVANTAGE
Keystone Cooperative is a member-owned and controlled operation with the unique distinction of distributing substantial annual patronage to our members.
Our profits stay local, returning to Main Street not Wall Street.
As a member, you’ll enjoy benefits such as cash and equity credits, eligibility for the Keystone Scholarship for your children or grandchildren, the opportunity to run for the Keystone Board of Directors, participation in important business meetings with voting rights, and the chance to qualify for the 2027 Keystone Escape Experience.
PATRONAGE OVERVIEW
Patronage represents the return of profits to member-owners after all financial and business obligations are met. Patronage is decided by the Board of Directors and distributed in two forms:
CASH: Member-owners receive a check annually amounting to a cash percentage of the year’s patronage.
EQUITY: Member-owners receive equity which is the promise of a payment in the future. By deferring immediate redemption, they understand that the co-op uses these funds to invest in people, assets, and more. Equity has value and is ultimately returned as member owners reach redemption age.
