Purpose & Structure


Charitable Purpose

Generous Ventures envisions a future in which more profit is used for good and businesses have long-term benefits for Aotearoa. To achieve this, Generous Ventures is challenging traditional ownership and governance structures that focus solely on maximising profit by driving more steward ownership models in Aotearoa. Generous Ventures is in the process of becoming a steward of Thankyou Payroll, a company offering payroll software to businesses in Aotearoa. Over the next six years, it will transition to full ownership, at which point profits can be redistributed for social good. For now, Generous Ventures is focused on promoting steward ownership, supporting businesses in making the transition, and empowering future stewards.
