Mission

Nonprofits are critical, yet the deck is stacked against them—they’re under-resourced and have inadequate outside support. We use our experience, financial resources and connections to help nonprofits navigate complex challenges. We create new ways for funders to support them. Together with our nonprofit and funder partners, we relentlessly fight for a healthier and more just society.

What
we do

SeaChange uses a variety of tools to help nonprofits address complex challenges. These include grants, loans, consulting, referrals, and the insights we’ve gained doing the work.

Grants

SeaChange makes seed, exploratory, and implementation grants to support the exploration or implementation of mergers, joint-ventures, programmatic alliances and other types of formal, long-term and sustainable collaborations between nonprofits.

Loans

SeaChange makes flexible, high-impact loans to support the real estate, working capital and expansion capital needs of nonprofits working in New York City.

Consulting

Our consulting work includes financial analysis, fund design, facilitation, and assisting with spin-outs, divestments, organizational restructurings (including bankruptcy) and dissolutions. While some of this comes in the form of formal, low-bono projects, more often it involves just a call or a meeting.

Insights

SeaChange shares what we have learned through our on-the-ground experience through articles, research reports, opinion pieces and educational events.
