ValueVendor

An app by COWOP's Local, Community-owned Supply Chain Collaborative

Upload your vendor spending data and we'll show you how much of it flows to value-aligned suppliers, including local, BIPOC-owned, women-owned, and cooperative institutions, so you can make more intentional purchasing decisions.
