	abstract = {Purpose: The article presents business models developed in organizations of the {\textquotedblleft}new cooperativism{\textquotedblright} trend, whose application leads to a bottom-up solution of important social problems at the local level and, in a broader perspective, stimulation of sustainable development.

Methodology: The adopted methodology uses a qualitative approach. The research was conducted in the form of case studies of four organizations following {\textquotedblleft}new cooperativism,{\textquotedblright} based on in-depth interviews, observations, and analyses of organizational documents and various types of publicly available materials.

Findings: The study showed that {\textquotedblleft}new cooperativism{\textquotedblright} organizations use in their business models the old practices developed by classical cooperatives, which work well in today{\textquoteright}s conditions and have the potential to provide a positive impact on important socioeconomic dysfunctions, which can be fully implemented through modern technologies.

Research Limitations: The limitations typical of the case study method entail the uncertainty of results replication, which disallows their broad generalization. However, the obtained results indicate the need to conduct a scientific diagnosis of emerging collaborative grassroots organizations and the importance of their participation in the three-sector economic concept of the state.

Originality: The article and its conclusions are based on empirical research of the practical effectiveness of business models used in organizations of the {\textquotedblleft}new cooperativism{\textquotedblright} trend.},
