The Seasons Fund For Social Transformation catalyzes vibrant and effective social change movements by coupling the power of personal transformation with the public work of creating a just and sustainable world.
The Fund, a collaborative effort led by several private foundations, springs from a shared belief that cultivating a rich inner life is both a worthy end in itself and an overlooked pathway to heightening the impact, effectiveness, and sustainability of social change initiatives. Together, we aim to raise at least $10 million to support those working for social, economic, and environmental justice to embrace a range of contemplative practices that can deepen their capacity to lead.
In pursuit of our mission, Seasons works to:
- Catalyze money for the field through strategic donor organizing efforts
- Cultivate connectedness, self-awareness and capacity to strengthen the field
- Invest in broadening and deepening the work of social transformation through strategic grantmaking
- Build Seasons’ organizational capacity to lead in this work
As our work together moves forward, we remain committed to these principles:
- Recognizing our interdependence
- Engaging in shared learning and reflection
- Cultivating an atmosphere of love and joy
- Maintaining transparency, accountability, and trust
