SEASONS FUND FOR SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION

The Seasons Fund For Social Transformation invests in opportunities to couple the expansive power of personal transformation with the public work of repairing societal ills in the United States. 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 $5 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. The Seasons Fund for Social Transformation is pleased to announce our inaugural Transformative Leadership Awards.

  Traditional methods of organizing marginalized communities often rely on fear and anger to motivate people to act. As we work toward applying the principles of self-awareness and transformation to our work, we seek to motivate people to act based on compassion and to build transformative relationships with each other and with people in power. — Pamela Chiang, Center for Community Change
