About Social & Environmental Entrepreneurs (See)

Social & Environmental Entrepreneurs (see) Inc’s recent grantmaking is defined by collaboration grants, including a $760,220 award in 2025 to Foundation to Promote Open Society and a $760,000 award in 2023 to The Solutions Project. That pattern points to a funder that uses project-restricted support to connect organizations and move shared initiatives forward rather than funding individuals or making program-related investments. The foundation’s stated mission is to empower, encourage, and catalyze projects so collaborators can facilitate positive change, and its focus areas include environmental conservation, community development, education, nonprofit capacity building, social innovation, and humanitarian services. In the current grant list, support reaches environmental justice, community organizing, and coalition-based work across multiple regions. Examples include The Victoria Project Inc in Santa Barbara, California, and Alliance for Global Justice in Tucson, Arizona. The breadth of recipient types suggests SEE works through networks and joint efforts, with grants often structured around shared infrastructure, convening, or coordinated action. Its grantmaking is national in scope, with recipients spread across many U.S. states and a small number of non-U.S. grants.

What Social & Environmental Entrepreneurs (See) Funds

Environmental and climate-related work is a clear thread. In 2025, the foundation gave $253,986 to Pesticide Action Network in Berkeley, California for a collaboration grant, and in 2023 it awarded $180,000 to Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives in Berkeley for the same grant type. Community-based environmental justice also appears in grants to Little Village Environmental Justice Organization in Chicago and Urban Tilth in Richmond. Collaboration is not limited to environmental groups. The foundation gave $200,000 to New York City Environmental Justice Alliance in Brooklyn, showing support for city-based coalition work, and $220,000 to Harambee House Inc in Savannah, Georgia, indicating attention to local organizing. Across these awards, the grant purpose text consistently centers collaboration rather than unrestricted support. The mix of recipients points to a funder that backs joint initiatives, advocacy networks, and shared efforts across place-based organizations.
