Community CHIP

What does Community CHIP stand for?

Since 1978, Community CHIP has been a fundraising program that supports over 50 groups committed to making Madison and Dane County a better place to live. Organizations work on a variety of issues including the environment, affordable housing, community development, violence prevention, services for people with disabilities, advocacy for people facing discrimination, consumer protection, and much more.

Every time you come through a check out line at Willy Street Co-op, you will be asked, “Would you like to CHIP?” CHIP is a VOLUNTARY 1% donation of your total bill and is ADDED to your total. So on a $10.00 purchase a CHIP would raise your bill to $10.10.

For more information and a list of the organizations that receive your donations visit the Community Shares Community CHIP web page.
