Pantai Prigi Consumer Cooperative Credit Union (PPCU) is a membership-based financial institution that provides savings and loan services as well as supporting business units for coastal communities in Tasikmadu Village, Watulimo District, Trenggalek Regency. This study aims to analyze member participation and the role of the cooperative in member empowerment, focusing on fishermen’s wives. The research was conducted from December 2025 to February 2026 using mixed methods. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, with 18 respondents selected using a total sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using the Miles and Huberman model alongside Likert scale measurements to assess the level of participation and the cooperative’s role. The results indicate that member participation falls into the high category, particularly in service utilization and involvement in member forums, although the monitoring aspect still requires strengthening. Accumulatively, the cooperative's role is classified as high in supporting member empowerment, primarily through service access, transparency, and managerial responsibility. However, aspects of opportunities and external support still need to be enhanced through strengthening training and expanding cooperation.]]>
