The Institute for Sustainable Enterprise has a wide range of options for participating and collaboration.  A few are listed here.  Specific arrangements are available for discussion with potential Corporate and other Business Partners.

Individual Partners - $1000

Individual partners join the community of ISE, participating with the Principals and the members of the Advisory Board.  In addition to attending all the breakfasts, they are full participants in all the Roundtables, seminars, book discussions and all events.  Customized and individualized attention is provided to individual partners to support them in enhancing their role as leaders in sustainability, wherever they are on the journey and in their organizations.

Partnership Opportunities:

ISE Corporate Partnership offers a variety of flexible and customizable opportunities to join a community of companies and individuals who are committed to enhancing their  sustainability from a Social/Governance, Environmental, and Financial/Economic perspective.

Founding/Sustaining Members:

Original Founding/Sustaining members are those organizations who have chosen to endorse and support ISE at the time of its formation and those Corporate Partners who have continued their membership from the Center for Management of Human Resources Studies (CHRMS).  These members are helping to guide and shape the future of ISE.

Organizations can join this category of membership with a fee of $7000 per year and an expressed intention to continue to be members over a longer period of time.  Those committing to a long term membership may receive discounted rates.

These members will belong to the ISE Advisory Board.  They also have full access to the breakfast seminars, roundtables, book discussions and other ISE activities.  They will also have access to the resources and connectivity of the Sustainability Knowledge Network (SKN) an ISE collaborative workspace.

Sponsors:

Sponsors are those who help partially or fully underwrite specific ISE initiatives (minimum of $1000). The sponsorship money will be used specifically for that initiative and the sponsor will receive an accounting of the usage of the funds.  They will be listed as an ISE initiative sponsor.

Contributors to Specific Initiatives:

We welcome tax-deductible contributions to any of our specific ISE sponsored initiatives in any amount.  Any individual, or any organization, contributing an amount of $1000 or more will be listed on the relevant initiative materials as a contributor.

Benefactors:

Benefactors are those who give ISE one time grants which are not specific to any initiative.  In most cases foundation grants and donations will come under this category.  Research granting organizations who make initiative-specific grants will not be included as benefactors, unless there are specific reasons to do so beyond the research grant relationship.
