The CLS now includes the programs and assets of the Center for Business Excellence, founded in 2004, whose archived sites can be found here and here. The CBE played a role in facilitating numerous conversations, including those giving rise to the Institute for Sustainable Enterprise at Fairleigh Dickinson University. It also conducted a major study on social enterprise models entitled “Beyond Philanthropy.” We have migrated to the new organization for two main reasons: (1) we plan to apply for 501c3 status, and it’s easier to do with a new organization than with one that’s been operating for several years without applying for it; (2) the programs we’re now focusing on have more to do with sustainability than with traditional CSR, so the name reflects more clearly our focus.
