- Month-Long Initiative Raising Resources for Foundation’s Critical Work Educating Private Business Owners With Succession Plans, Public Leaders, and Other Stakeholders About Value of Esops
The ESOP Association and the Employee Ownership Foundation announced the launch of the first annual ESOPATHON, a month-long fundraising drive to coincide with Employee Ownership Month in October and the Employee Ownership Foundation’s 30th Anniversary.
During ESOPATHON, ESOP community members and their peers are participating in fun, activity-based challenges to raise funds to support new and forward-leaning programming at the Employee Ownership Foundation. For most employee owners, their ESOP account represents one of their largest financial assets and a major portion of their retirement savings, but most Americans don’t have access to this economic benefit. As the Foundation looks toward the future, it will need funding to continue to document the benefits of our existing ESOPs while making them more widely available to all Americans. ESOPATHON is the Foundation’s effort to start raising the necessary resources to make this happen!
