As a non-profit ‘Steward-owned’ will accelerate the movement towards more steward-ownership in Belgium.

We are a guide for anyone on their way to explore steward-ownership and embedding the two core principles in their legal DNA: self-governance and profit serves mission. As a field builder, we make this new kind of ownership accessible for everyone. We research and share all our expertise to lower barriers and strengthen the knowledge hub.

All our activities address the main hurdles on the way to steward-ownership in Belgium: Lack of information, flag-ships, stories & narratives; Complex legal implementation; Lack of alligned capital

“It always seems impossible, until it’s done.”

With steward-ownership gaining traction globally, it was time to propel the Belgian chapter.

A key to our approach in Belgium was choosing to collaborate with partners and ambassadors. These organizations actively contribute to and support the movement.

Because we all believe that a business can be a prototype of the world you want to live in.

Since we launched 'Steward-owned' in Belgium similar field-building organizations have been initiated, across different continents. It’s clear: we are part of a global movement, led by Purpose Economy, our German partner.

We are looking for donations

Exciting developments are happening in the wonderful world of steward-ownership. The concept is gaining increasing traction, and we’re receiving many inquiries in our mailbox. :)

As our work primarily relies on donations, there are some bottlenecks that could limit our ability to seize the momentum. We are currently looking for strategic partners to support our charitable work in the coming year.

We are seeking donations to sustain and expand our activities from 2025 onward, ensuring we can continue driving systemic change. Lets accelerate the movement toward greater adoption of steward-ownership in Belgium.

Please don't hesitate to reach if you’d like to discuss potential opportunities.
