The one-time contribution is an initiation fee. This fee is critical to supporting the cooperative and ensures the long-term commitment of each owner.

Cooperative owners all have shares and ownership in the for-profit cooperative known as MaybeItsFate LCA (Limited Cooperative Association). MaybeItsFate LCA maintains 20% of non-dilutive shares in the MaybeItsFate LLC, which is leasing-to-own the property. Once the property is fully owned, the LCA will offer profit sharing to all owners maintaining patronage in the cooperative, where profit distribution is determined by ownership shares in the cooperative.

As an LCA, MaybeItsFate LCA offers two options for ownership: one, the standard patronage-based ownership through the options noted above; and two, the ability for individuals or groups to invest.

Owners with patronage-based engagement earn annual share grants for continued patronage. They may earn additional shares for certain actions, like a referral bonus for introducing a new person to the cooperative who becomes an owner.

Interested investors should refer to our 80/20 model in our white paper to understand our equitable and resilient business model.
