The Citizenfund offers everyone the opportunity to take back control of finance and become an actor of change by financially supporting the companies of tomorrow. By putting a fraction of your savings into our fund, you support ambitious entrepreneurial projects with a social or environmental impact beneficial to society. By investing, you become a de facto associate of the Citizenfund. [/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5901″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css_animation=”slideInUp”][vc_column_text css_animation=”slideInUp”] The subscription of shares is a way of making your savings available rather than a speculative investment or a philanthropic donation. The social return of your investment is guaranteed, and a financial return of up to 6% is possible (according to our CNC approval, Royal Decree of 8 January 1962, art.1), but is in no way guaranteed. In concrete terms, any natural person or legal entity who wishes to do so is free to subscribe for one or more cooperative shares. We have two types of shares: • B shares at €250 (+€10 one-off management fee per share) for everyone • C shares at €50 (+€2 one-off management fee per unit) for persons under 26 years of age at the time of subscription.   The Citizenfund operates according to the cooperative governance principle « 1 person = 1 vote ». Each cooperator has the same voting power, regardless of the type of share and the amounts invested, for both investment decisions and internal governance.
