Become a member.
The Clifton Crafthouse Co-op will be a worker, community member, and business-owned taproom and community space featuring a shared commercial kitchen and affordable artist housing. Designed to meet specific needs identified by local non-profits, we hope to leverage the cooperative model to create a community space for the benefit of all.
WHY JOIN NOW
A cooperative is owned by its members, and run democratically for their benefit. As such, we're relying on our member-owners - not just a few wealthy investors - to help us raise the funds needed to bring our vision to life, and ensure it's designed to meet our community's needs.
WHY GIVE MORE?
With an over $1 million project price tag, we want to encourage member-owners to contribute more if they're able and reward them for their generosity. With our limited-time Original Crafters benefits, you can enjoy exclusive access to merch, events, opportunities, and recognition
when the Co-op opens.
The 3 Phase Plan
We've broken the project into 3 phases, and hope to:
-
have 1,000 members by end of 2022
-
have raised enough money to start construction in 2023
PHASE 1
TAPROOM & COMMUNITY SPACE
GOAL: $1,400,000
PHASE 2
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
GOAL: $200,000
PHASE 3
INCUBATOR KITCHEN
GOAL: $400,000
For only $250, you can apply to be a co-owner as a Community or Business member today.
