Updated by Steward Team
At Steward, we do not charge any fees to our participating lenders. No management fee. No transaction fee. Nothing. We understand that lenders provide an invaluable resource (e.g., their capital) to the regenerative farmers and food producers who need it most. And in return, these agricultural businesses are providing their communities with resilient food systems, local economic development, and viable climate solutions.
Our goal is to make supporting regenerative agriculture as easy as possible, which is why Steward originates and services all loans directly through the Steward online platform, making the barrier to participate our lending campaigns as low as possibly.
That said, if you ever have any issues navigating our platform or funding a project, please let us know right away by emailing support@gosteward.com
