How is patronage distributed?

Stocksy United’s Rules govern how the Co-op distributes patronage to our three membership classes. Below is the payment breakdown:

• Class A receives 5% of the return, allocated to each Class A member equally
• Class B receives 5% of the return, allocated to each Class B member in proportion to their time with the Co-op 
• Class C receives 90% of the return, allocated to eligible Class C members based on the percentage of sales that member earned in the fiscal year

Stocksy United has paid patronage for fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2020 — totaling $1.6 million. You can see our 2020 patronage announcement here.
