SEEKING INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Marketing Contractor: Visual design, website, & communications

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW
The Ownership Capital Lab is a field-building nonprofit initiative, working to bring employee ownership investing into the mainstream. We aim to increase investment into employee ownership by $1 billion within the next five years to create tens of thousands more employee-owners—creating wealth for hard-working employees, their families and children, for generations to come. Employee ownership supports low- and moderate-income workers to achieve economic stability and build wealth, reduces inequity across society, and preserves local businesses and economies.
