April’s Big Change Recipient is LINC

LINC is a program that shoppers can enroll in to become a Sioux Falls Co+op owner/member at no cost to them.

When someone is enrolled in the program, the Co+op will supplement their equity payments at $40 per year for as long as they stay enrolled, until they hit the full $200. Once they hit $200, they are fully vested and are technically no longer part of the program—their stock is theirs, just like anyone else’s. After the initial five years in the program, should they decide to no longer be a Co+op owner, their stock will be refunded to them. If, at any time during the five years before they hit $200, they decide not to be an owner anymore, they do not qualify for a refund of their stock value; the amount that has been invested in their stock will return to the LINC fund.
