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 mainly relies on donations, we are currently looking for strategic partners to support our non-profit work in the coming years and help us bring Steward-ownership out of its bubble and continue driving system change.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you can help us, because Rethinking Ownership will be essential in shaping the economy of the future. We are looking follow-on funding to sustain and expand our activities from 2026 onwards.
