Project Equity is a nonprofit organization focused on expanding employee ownership as a viable path for business owners seeking a planned succession, preserving legacy firms, and strengthening local economies. It works with partners across the United States to raise awareness of employee ownership as an exit option and provides hands-on consulting and capital to support transitions, along with accredited continuing education for business advisors. The organization operates within the non-profit sector and centers its work on facilitating ownership-based transitions that involve workers and communities. Based in Oakland, California, Project Equity serves a national network of small to mid-sized businesses seeking succession options and the professionals who assist them. In May 2025, the organization announced a strategic partnership with Zolidar to streamline succession planning and employee ownership transitions.
