Make a donation

At VOLTS, we believe in building a future where formerly incarcerated individuals—particularly Black women—own the businesses, homes, and institutions that shape their lives. Your donation fuels that future. VOLTS isn't charity. It's infrastructure. It's community-led ownership. It's building a cooperative future together.

Support CrossTreats!

We're currently raising funds to support the development of the CrossTreats manufacturing facility—a 12,500-square-foot food manufacturing and workforce development hub on Chicago's South Side. The facility will create living-wage jobs for formerly incarcerated individuals, expand opportunities for worker ownership, and strengthen local food production while serving as a cornerstone of our growing cooperative ecosystem.

Every contribution helps us transform an underutilized building into a community-owned asset that generates opportunity, wealth, and long-term economic stability.
