Recognition and Engagement

Celebrating Those Who Advance International Co-operation

Recognition is central to Socodevi’s mission. It expresses our gratitude to individuals and organizations whose commitment and expertise help build a more united and sustainable world through the strength of the co-operative model. Through the Socodevi Intercooperation Merit Award, the Club des 40 Complices, and other distinctions, we highlight the importance of every collaboration in achieving our mission.

Philanthropic Recognition Program

Recognizing your Impact, Celebrating your Generosity

Every gesture matters, and every donation changes lives. Our recognition program shines a light on the tangible impact of your generosity on communities worldwide. This approach reflects a core belief: we can transform the world, one co-operative at a time.

This approach reflects a core belief: we can transform the world, one cooperative at a time. Each level is represented by a flower—an international symbol of growth, hope, and renewal.

The names chosen to complete the beginning of our own name — SOCO — to create meaningful identities for each level of engagement: socoDECOEUR, socoDESENS, socoDEVIE… all ways to affirm that, thanks to you, our mission takes root, grows, and blossoms wherever we work.

Socodevi’s recognition program is organized into five levels inspired by what your support makes possible:

$10 to $499

For those who wholeheartedly offer the initial boost that makes all the difference.

$500 to $999

For those who see, touch and feel the importance of taking action.

$1,000 and Above

For those who place cooperation at the heart of their lives.

$5,000 and Above

For those who commit themselves with pride and vision.

Bequests and Life Insurance

For those who choose to build a lasting legacy, for the benefit of future generations.

Club des 40 Complices

Rooted in the ‘devie’ level of our recognition program, the Club des 40 Complices brings together individuals who carry international co-operation at the heart of their lives. Created to mark Socodevi’s 40th anniversary, this exclusive club acknowledges the commitment of our long-standing supporters.

We mobilized 40 women and men willing to commit to giving $1,000 or more per year, for five years — a total contribution of $5,000 or more to support Socodevi.
A true circle of committed allies, the Club offers members far more than recognition: privileged opportunities to connect with inspiring leaders, as well as unique access to meetings and exchanges with our field teams, directly in the communities where we work. A space where engagement is lived, shared… and multiplied.

Because of the enthusiasm surrounding the Club, the symbolic number of 40 Allies was quickly reached — and continues to grow!

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who have responded positively by joining this Club!
