About Project Pages
Updated by Steward Team
Project pages are personalized pages to showcase your campaign on Steward's platform.
Use this space to communicate to prospective participating lenders why you are applying for a Steward loan and how their support will help your business. The more information and specific details you can share, the more confident lenders will be to help fund your project.
