Felipe Witchger
Founding Executive Director
After a decade of service and impact at The Community Purchasing Alliance, our much-valued colleague, collaborator, and founding Executive Director Felipe Witchger is moving on to exciting new endeavors in impact-first investing with his new project, the Francesco Collaborative.
Those familiar with Felipe know that CPA would not be here today if it were not for the energy and talent he poured into launching our cooperative over a decade ago. What started as a group of community leaders working together to address exorbitant energy bills has turned into what CPA is today: a thriving, self-sustaining cooperative with $20 million in annual purchasing with a national peer network of 400+ community institutions and 80+ member-owners in the DC area.
