Join SaveCoconut

Add your name to the legacy.

SaveCoconut was built one Cocofed Scholar, one coconut farmer, and one cooperative at a time. There are two memberships, and they're sequential: SCFI first, then SCMPC.

SCFI

SaveCoconut Foundation Inc.

The foundation membership — for Cocofed Scholars alumni, CoScho scholars, coconut farmers under a SaveCoconut Farmers Cooperative, and their descendants. Open to everyone who qualifies.

Become a SaveCoconut Foundation member

SCFI is the foundation — the umbrella of 7,000 former Cocofed Scholars paying forward the coconut levy that funded their education, together with the coconut farmers and cooperatives now building Shared Processing Facilities nationwide.

Membership doesn't end with you. It's perpetuated through spouses and descendants, so the movement your generation started keeps growing long after.

Who can join

• Cocofed Scholars Alumni

  Scholars funded by the coconut levy from 1975 to 1981, their spouses and descendants, plus associational and honorary members.

• CoScho Scholars

  The new CHED batch under the Coconut Scholarship for Coconut Farmers and their Children, with spouses and descendants.

• SaveCoconut Farmers Cooperatives

  Coconut farmer members of each SCFC co-managing a SaveCoconut-initiated SPF, with spouses and descendants.

• FSCFC

  The federation formed by at least three SaveCoconut Farmers Cooperatives.

SCMPC

SaveCoconut Multi-Purpose Cooperative

The economic arm — for SCFI members who want to invest in and benefit from Shared Processing Facilities and SaveCoconut products. Requires active SCFI membership first.

Invest in the cooperative that owns the SPF

SCMPC is the economic arm of SCFI. It commits capital to Shared Processing Facilities and buys, brands and markets the coconut products they produce — and its members share in that business.

SCFI membership required first

SCMPC membership is only open to active SCFI members. If you haven't joined SCFI yet, start there — it only takes one step.

What SCMPC membership means

• Share subscription

  Members build capital for each Shared Processing Facility through share subscription — the same model behind the San Francisco, Batuan and La Libertad SPFs.

• Dividends and patronage

  As owners of the SPF business, members earn from dividends and patronage refunds, on top of what they earn selling their own coconuts.

• Access to capital

  Members engaging in marketing SaveCoconut products are encouraged to borrow capital from SCMPC, even if they already have capital of their own.
