Funders and partners
The kind of benefits employee ownership can bring have never been more needed to support individual workers, businesses, local communities and regional economies. Ownership at Work believes employee ownership should become one of the foundations for our national recovery.
But we cannot do this alone. We are a young organisation. We need partners who can bring not only ideas but importantly resources and funding. You might share our passion and ambition for employee ownership and be happy to make a charitable donation? You might have a particular aspect of EO impact you’re keen to explore with a credible, independent research partner? We are looking for proactive partners and contributors large and small to help us deliver our ambition and build our reputation.
We count ourselves extremely lucky to work with our existing funders and partners, and hope that others will be inspired to join us:
