The Georgia Shared Ownership Convening, co-hosted by the Rutgers Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing, Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative, Goizueta’s Business & Society Institute, and Georgia Social Innovation Collaborative, brought together 50+ stakeholders to discuss the future of shared ownership models in our state. From ESOPs to cooperatives, these models are vital tools for promoting economic resilience and racial equity. Impact investors – from CDFIs to foundations to private investment funds – can and should play a role in supporting these businesses. Check out our convening report-out (link below) to see how stakeholders are collaborating to build a sustainable ecosystem for shared ownership in Georgia. From policy roundtables to expanding technical assistance, look for more to come from Georgia in 2025!
