The Seasons Fund makes grants to help agents of social change view themselves, their work, and the world around them in a new light. Specifically, we support opportunities for reflection and training aimed at fostering personal transformation, building leadership skills, promoting organizational development, forging effective coalitions, and cultivating new ways of envisioning our society. We also support efforts to evaluate the impact of contemplative practices on social change initiatives.
The Fund is governed by a board of individuals representing a range of philanthropic institutions. The board is responsible for setting overall strategies and advising on grants. The Fund is housed at Jewish Funds for Justice, which serves as our fiscal sponsor. This arrangement allows us to streamline our operations, but in no way indicates a religious affiliation.
