Canadian Alternative Investment Cooperative (CAIC) was formed in the early 80's by a number of religious communities who wanted to pool their resources in order to make investments that support positive social change and promote alternative economic structures.

CAIC has since grown to forty-eight members with a lending pool of approximately $7 million invested in worthwhile projects across Canada.

Our borrowers are building alternative economic structures that are supportive of worker cooperatives, disadvantaged peoples and the environment.

The Board of Directors consists of annually elected volunteer representatives of the members. It is supported by an Advisory Committee that consists of individuals from the business community whose perspective complements the Board's familiarity with social justice issues and two part-time contract workers who provide office and financial management.
