SEASONS FUND GRANTMAKING 2010

Congratulations to our new cohort of grantees!

Seasons Fund is pleased to announce our new grantees from the Networks and Coalitions category: Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice/EMERJ Network, Alliance for Education Justice, Center for Community Change, National Training and Information Center, The Partnership for Working Families, Service Employees International Union/Rockwood Leadership Institute, and Steps Coalition.

Networks and Coalitions: With this round of grantmaking, Seasons Fund granted awards to high-impact coalitions, networks and collaborative efforts that are committed to transformational social change practices and methodologies. In order to advance this transformative model on a large scale, Seasons provided funds to take reflective and contemplative practices deeper into these networks’ chapters and affiliates. Priority was given to coalitions collaborating with intermediaries who train, guide and support the coalitions in taking the transformative work more strategically into their organizational cultures.

Seasons Fund is also pleased to announce our new grantees from the Open category: Asian Pacific Environmental Network, Brooklyn Congregations United, c-Integral, Domestic Workers United, Good Old Lower East Side, Jewish Organizing Initiative, Just Cause Oakland, La Plazita Institute, LAANE, Mediators Foundation, Mothers on the Move, New York Jobs with Justice, SCOPE, and Women and Girls Collective Action Network.

Open Call: With this round of grantmaking, Seasons Fund considered proposals from organizations falling within our criteria of transformative social change work. We provided funds to both frontline groups that are experimenting with these transformative practices and intermediaries that are providing transformational and contemplative training and consulting to frontline organizations.
