Donate to the Memorial Legacy Project to Preserve the Federation's Legacy!

Donate Here!

Thank you for your interest in donating to the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistant Fund's Memorial Legacy Project (MLP). The goal of the MLP project is to memorialize and honor the individuals, organizations, and funders who were instrumental in the creation and work of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund ("the Federation").

The work of MLP will underscore the efficacy of cooperative economic development and its grassroots leaders. The Memorial Project will be at the FSC/LAF's Rural Research and Training Center, Epes, Alabama.

The MLP's design plan includes multiple edifices and living structures, examples of which are a strategically positioned Memorial Wall, Cabins dedicated to the 22 founding cooperatives, Gateways to Fruit and Pecan Trees, Flower Gardens in selected locations, Walkways to reflective points, such as Dedicated Fountains, Benches, Plaques, Abstract Artistic and Statuary Renderings, and Gazebos.

We hope that this endeavor serves as an inspiration for others, especially young people, to follow in the footsteps of the Federation’s grassroots founders and those who came behind them.
