Mission & Focus Areas
SeaChange’s stated mission is to help nonprofits navigate complex financial and organizational challenges through grants, loans, consulting, and research, while educating nonprofits, funders, and other stakeholders and building connections between them.
Its grants support the exploration or implementation of mergers, joint ventures, shared services, programmatic alliances, and other formal, sustained collaborations. SeaChange says it considers requests across issue areas and organization sizes when flexible funding can materially help a potential transaction; it does not fund transactions that are already completed or appear on track and well-funded. Its programs include the SeaChange-Lodestar Fund for Nonprofit Collaboration, New York Merger and Collaboration Fund, Greater Philadelphia Nonprofit Repositioning Fund, and Transformational Partnerships Fund for higher education. SeaChange also provides impact-first loans for nonprofit real estate, working capital, and expansion needs in New York City, and offers advice and analysis, most of it pro bono.
Grantees in 2024 included organizations with varied missions. Lackawanna College describes its work as providing affordable, open-enrollment education; Kansas Wesleyan University describes itself as a liberal arts college integrating academic excellence, spiritual development, personal well-being, and social responsibility. Cultural Vistas says it uses international exchange to connect people and promote positive change, while College Possible works to make college admission and success possible for students from low-income backgrounds. Other recipients included Association House of Chicago, which describes its work as advancing participation in family and community life through health, wellness, and economic opportunity; Hope for New York, which supports organizations serving poor and marginalized communities in New York City; Urban Affairs Coalition, which works to improve quality of life and build wealth in urban communities; and Community Healthcare Network, which provides health services to a largely medically underserved population.
Grantmaking
In 2024, SeaChange reported 47 itemized grants totaling $1,347,942. Grant sizes ranged from $6,250 to $225,000, with a median of $20,000. The organization separately reported supporting 48 sustained-collaboration grants across its four grantmaking programs: 14 through the Greater Philadelphia Nonprofit Repositioning Fund, 11 through the New York Merger and Collaboration Fund, 16 through SeaChange-Lodestar, and seven through the Transformational Partnerships Fund. The itemized-grant count and the program-reported count are different figures reported by the organization.
The largest itemized grants included $225,000 to NYPRI, $80,000 to Cypress Hill, $75,000 to Ursuline University, $50,000 each to Lackawanna College and Peirce College, and $40,000 each to Seach for Commonground and Self Help Community Services. The stated purpose for these listed grants was to facilitate mergers between organizations.
SeaChange’s website invites prospective applicants to contact it to explore how it can help. For the Transformational Partnerships Fund, inquiries must be submitted jointly by two or more institutions, and the partnership must be at the start or in an early exploratory phase; it does not make grants to single institutions or for partnership discussions that have finished the exploratory phase. The fund’s sample inquiry form also describes eligibility conditions concerning student populations, expected operational impact, student outcomes, and undergraduate focus.
