Inviting Partners and Sponsors

The Institute’s Board of Directors approved a fund for social enterprise sponsorships. This fund could in time become an independent Foundation to support social fieldwork education and research. If approved, funding sources would have met requirements established through participatory evaluation by locals on the basis of pre-established participatory baseline indicators of community well-being and ecosystem stewardship. The Institute will set an example for measurable ways to align business with socio-ecological sustainability.
