请简要介绍一下上一报告期内您提议的 CWB 目标的进展情况：
During the past reporting period, significant progress was made toward our CWB goals. The Lifting Lawndale cooperative focused on creating essential materials for its upcoming Pop-Up shop, an initiative designed to increase local engagement and economic opportunities for cooperative members. This shop will provide a platform to showcase member products and foster stronger ties within the North Lawndale community. In addition, the cooperative has prepared a funding package to solicit grant funding from various organizations. This funding is critical for supporting Lifting Lawndale’s goals, as it will provide necessary resources for ongoing training, business support, and community outreach efforts. LCDC has also continued to promote training courses for Cohort 3. These courses are essential in equipping new cooperative members with the skills and knowledge required to build and sustain successful cooperative businesses. By broadening awareness of these training opportunities, we aim to expand participation and strengthen the foundation of cooperatives within North Lawndale.
在上一报告期内，您遇到了哪些制约或限制（如果有）？
In the past reporting period, we encountered several constraints that affected our progress. One of the primary challenges has been securing sufficient funding. Although Lifting Lawndale has taken proactive steps by developing a funding package to seek grant support, converting these efforts into financial commitments remains a work in progress. Limited funding has, in turn, impacted our ability to expand and sustain activities, such as training, marketing, and operational support for the cooperative’s planned initiatives, including the Pop-Up shop. Community outreach has also presented challenges. Consistently engaging with potential participants, especially for Cohort 3, has required more resources and time than anticipated. With limited staff and outreach tools, expanding awareness of the Pop-Up shop and training opportunities has been slower than we initially hoped, affecting our ability to reach the broader community effectively. Additionally, preparing for the Pop-Up shop has faced logistical constraints. Coordinating materials and securing necessary supplies have taken more time than planned due to limited access and vendor coordination issues. These logistical delays have somewhat slowed our timeline for the Pop-Up initiative, highlighting the need for additional support and resources to maintain our momentum and meet our cooperative development goals effectively.
在上一报告期内，您利用了哪些机会（如果有）？
In the last reporting period, we seized several key opportunities to advance our cooperative goals. Lifting Lawndale made significant strides by crafting a detailed funding package aimed at securing grant support. This initiative not only addresses our immediate need for resources but also positions the cooperative for future growth by establishing stronger relationships with potential funding organizations. By proactively seeking this support, we are laying the groundwork for sustained activities, such as training programs, community events, and the Pop-Up shop. Additionally, LCDC leveraged its community connections to promote Cohort 3’s training courses. We capitalized on existing community networks to extend our reach, raising awareness among potential participants and fostering broader interest in cooperative development within North Lawndale. This effort has created momentum around our training initiatives, encouraging more community members to consider cooperative business as a viable pathway. Finally, we took advantage of our partnerships with local vendors and suppliers to begin securing materials for the Pop-Up shop. By tapping into these resources early, we were able to make headway on our preparation, despite the logistical challenges we faced. These steps have strengthened our cooperative’s foundation, enhanced its visibility and positioned us well for upcoming initiatives.

您的 WC 客户/合作伙伴在本报告期内表达的最大需求是什么？
During this reporting period, our WC clients and partners expressed several pressing needs essential to their success and sustainability. One of the most frequently mentioned needs was access to reliable funding. Many partners highlighted the necessity of securing consistent financial resources, not only to launch their businesses but also to sustain ongoing operations, training, and community outreach. Without reliable funding, cooperative initiatives are difficult to scale, limiting their impact within North Lawndale. Additionally, clients expressed a strong need for expanded training and technical support. While our current programs are valuable, many cooperative members voiced a desire for more comprehensive training that covers business development, marketing, financial management, and cooperative governance. This expanded support would empower members with the skills needed to manage and grow their enterprises effectively. Another critical need identified was community awareness and engagement. Clients emphasized the importance of broader community support for their cooperative efforts. Many are eager to establish a stronger local presence, but they face challenges in reaching the community effectively due to limited outreach resources. Increased community awareness would not only help cooperatives attract new members but also foster a culture of support for locally owned businesses. These expressed needs underscore the importance of financial support, technical training, and community engagement resources in helping our WC clients and partners achieve their cooperative development goals.
芝加哥 CWB 生态系统在服务或资源方面最大的差距是什么？
A gap in the ecosystem is the lack of centralized support for community awareness and engagement efforts. Many cooperatives struggle with visibility and often lack the resources or networks to effectively promote their work within the community. Building a stronger culture of support for cooperatives within Chicago requires sustained outreach and public education efforts that promote the cooperative model and its benefits to local economies.
