Why employee ownership?
Build wealth for workers
Research consistently shows that employee ownership improves worker financial well-being—leading to higher wages, better benefits, and long-term financial security.
Strengthen local communities
Employee ownership can sustain local businesses in their communities—preserving the founder’s legacy and continuing to provide quality jobs and services for the community.
Advance an economy that works for everyone
When employees share in ownership, businesses thrive, communities grow stronger, and the benefits of success are spread more equitably.
Join the movement
Project Equity is accelerating a movement to advance employee ownership (EO) across the nation, building wealth for workers and strengthening local economies. Over the past decade, we have developed a broad network of partners committed to supporting this work, including recent catalytic investment from JPMorganChase.Â
Yet, our work is far from done. Expanding this impact requires ongoing investment in the day-to-day work that drives change—from reaching business owners to supporting future worker-owners.
Your donation fuels our mission to expand employee ownership—building wealth for workers, strengthening communities, and shaping a more equitable economy for the future.

Why this work matters
“Being a worker-owner has had great emotional and financial benefits for me and my partner. I feel a sense of security, stability, and pride in my work because I clearly understand my contributions and know my value. I was able to put my [profit-sharing] check toward emergency funds, and it helped get my partner to see a specialist out of state.” – Worker-owner, Happy Earth Cleaning Co-op
