Overview

Ownership Works is a non-profit that expands wealth creation by making employee ownership available to workers. It partners with public and private companies and investors to design, implement, and evaluate broad-based employee ownership programs, so employees acquire stakes in their employer’s long-term success. These programs align the financial interests of workers and companies and emphasize shared ownership across the workforce, not just a few executives. The organization differentiates itself by focusing on broad-based ownership to improve corporate culture and business performance while prioritizing wealth creation for low- and moderate-income workers and people of color. It relies on donors, grants, and partnerships for funding. The goal is to generate at least $20 billion of wealth for workers over the next decade.
