We are an organization of people and congregations from the Cincinnati religious community. We are conducting a community economic development campaign by creating employee owned cooperative businesses. Co-ops, as they are called, offer people a dramatic opportunity to exercise new control in their lives.

We are concerned about the long term scarcity of jobs, ownership opportunities, stable community and voice in many of our neighborhoods.

Cooperative businesses are part of the market economy. They started in nineteenth century England. Today they thrive around the world. Most notable are the Mondragon Cooperatives in the Basque region of Spain.

Cooperative Janitorial Services is Interfaith Business Builders’ pride and joy. The success of Cooperative Janitorial Services and its dozen+ members (worker/owners) says we are learning the formulas for successful development of cooperative businesses in low income communities in this country. We see a very exciting future ahead.

We hope you enjoy learning about Interfaith Business Builders and Cooperative Janitorial Services.

It’s all about
