Historical note

The Iowa Institute for Cooperatives is the trade organization for cooperatives in Iowa. The organization has its roots in the annual Iowa Institute of Cooperation which was first held in Des Moines in March 1931. This annual Institute was sponsored by the Federation of Iowa Farm Organizations and was a forum for the discussion of cooperative principles and reports on the application of those principles in specific localities.

Continuing efforts to promote the interests and welfare of agricultural cooperatives in Iowa led to the formation of the Iowa Council of Cooperation in 1944. Membership in the Council consisted of statewide and regional Iowa agricultural cooperatives. At the second annual Iowa Cooperative Directors' Conference in June 1951, a committee was appointed to develop a statewide organization for cooperative education. Based on the recommendations of that committee, the Iowa Council of Cooperation was completely reorganized to create the Iowa Institute of Cooperation in September 1951.

The new Iowa Institute of Cooperation (IIC) differed from the Council in that its voting membership consisted of primary or local farmer cooperatives. Regional farmer cooperatives and statewide general farm organizations were eligible for associate membership in the organization. The IIC focused on providing educational programs to cooperatives, promoting the cooperative form of business, and providing assistance with legislative and regulatory matters related to cooperatives. Since 1987 the IIC has also offered financial and management consulting and cooperative development services.

The Iowa Institute of Cooperation changed its name to the Iowa Institute for Cooperatives in 1992. The organization's offices are located in Ames, Iowa.
