Founded in 1916, the National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA) is a United States membership organization for cooperatives, businesses that are jointly-owned and democratically-controlled.
In 2000 the group successfully lobbied the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers to establish a new top-level domain exclusively for business cooperations. The domain, .coop, became active in 2002.
NCBA members include some well-known United States consumer brands, such as Ace Hardware, Florida's Natural, and Land O' Lakes.
