Through the collaboration of the Foundation for Enterprise Development (FED), the Employee Ownership Foundation, and the Aspen Institute, CLEO was originally launched in October of 2008. For eight years it resided at Aspen Institute’s CasePlace.org and grew to have more than 700 teaching materials, including videos, cases, syllabi, teaching modules, and reading collections, with thousands of downloads per year by researchers, teachers, and companies. Now residing at Rutgers University’s School of Management and Labor Relations, CLEO will continue to grow and serve the community.
The School of Management and Labor Relations at Rutgers University would like to acknowledge the financial support and guidance of the Beyster Foundation for Enterprise Development, the financial support of the Employee Ownership Foundation, and the technical assistance from The Aspen Institute.

In 2015, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation engaged the Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing, at the Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations, to conduct a qualitative study examining the asset building impacts of employee ownership for low- and moderate-income employees and their families.
