Currently based out of Manhattan, we've
been utilizing The Foundation Center to advance our efforts.
Marble Collegiate Church has also proved to be a valued
resource as well. Three outstanding locations have been
identified to exhibit some of The Cause Collection original
artwork. However, we continue to look for a public sanctuary
to exhibit the entire collection of original works while
we tend to other orders of business. Some Cause Collection
principles are being incorporated in designs for The Ground
Zero Memorial and for the urban design for rebuilding
Lower Manhattan.
Meanwhile, we're still seeking a Cultural
Enrichment beneficiary. Via Harvard Business School's
Initiative on Social Enterprise, the Harvard University
Art Museums are considering participation in The Cause
Collection. Hopefully this will complete the collection
of associated nonprofit organizations and we can commence
with our cause-related efforts. Perhaps The Coop will
secure outsourcing for our Culture Shop's
product merchandising and fulfillment services. Although
refinements continue to appear on the site, technical
challenges still prevent us from launching our efforts
to college campuses.
Despite our shortcomings, one source
considers our efforts "interesting and ambitious" while
another believes we're "building a skyscraper." So, thank
you for your perspectives and patience as we develop our
work to fruition.
