Welcome to the Keystone Development Center (KDC).  KDC has been working with emerging, start-up and established cooperatives and businesses throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region for many years.  We provide quality research and business development support.  Our experienced team of cooperative and business development specialists can support you and your group from development through to operations.

If you are new to cooperatives, we suggest you begin with the About Co-ops page.  At any time, feel free to fill out our request for assistance form and someone will contact you directly to answer questions and provide additional information.

The Keystone Development Center (KDC) embraces cooperative values and a mission to sustain
communities, economies, and resources through cooperatively owned businesses.

KDC EMBRACES COOPERATIVE VALUES:
The KDC Team and our community are strengthened by our collective commitment to each other, our common goals, and the unique contributions we all bring to our efforts. We continually work to innovate, broaden, and strengthen a culture of inclusion, belonging, prosperity, and justice.

Cooperatives are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, cooperative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility, and caring for others.
 
KDC IS COMMITTED TO JUSTICE, EQUITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION:
Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion are priorities and, therefore, govern compensation, benefits, work-life, balance, and employee/employer accountability.

KDC EMBRACES THE SEVEN COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES
1.      Open and Voluntary Membership
2.      Democratic Member Control
3.      Members' Economic Participation
4.      Autonomy and Independence
5.      Education, Training, and Information
6.      Cooperation Among Cooperatives
7.      Concern for Community
