Seasons Fund for Social Transformation http://seasonsfund.org 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.

Seasons Fund recently completed an inquiry with the field about our role in the transformative social change landscape; these conversations resulted in an exciting new strategic direction that will guide our work for the next three to five years. This direction aims to: strengthen transformative leadership for movement building by investing and mobilizing resources.

Seasons’ objective is to support movement leaders and their organizations to deepen their engagement with transformative approaches in order to generate more alignment, coherence, effectiveness and impact across a range of social change initiatives. Specifically, the three primary pathways for success in this direction are:

Strategic pathway #1:
Partner with others to strengthen the leadership of high-impact transformative social change campaigns and initiatives.

Strategic pathway #2:
Support systematic and linked leadership development in formal and informal networks, alliances, and anchor organizations pursuing transformative social change.

Strategic pathway #3:
Increase training and other technical assistance resources for leaders of transformative social change and their organizations.

Seasons Fund is excited to partner with funders and allies to mobilize resources in support of strengthening transformative leaders and their organizations! To learn more about power and impact of transformative leadership, watch this video from Seasons’ 2009 Transformative Leadership Awards Ceremony!
