  "textContent": "**the results from the Seed Funding campaign**\n\n​​For quite some time, our team at Transition Network international has recognized how important seed funding and grant distribution are for the movement - we heard so many fantastic stories about how even a small amount of money can make a huge difference on the ground.\n\nTHIS IS IT! This year, we prioritised the exploration of launching Seed Funding, designing the needed processes using shared governance, and providing grants that support the work of Transition Territories, Hubs and local groups.\n\nThis is not the first time Transition Network International has organised the distribution of seed funding — we run rounds of seed-funding for Transition Hubs for 6 years - from 2014 to 2020, as well as a UK focused seed-funding in 2024. However, this year it is the first time we launched this kind of grant to local groups at international level.\n\nThis year, the total amount available for seed funding was smaller than in previous cycles (£15,000 for local groups and £15,000 for Hubs). It was a conscious decision to do it anyway, believing that this is just the beginning of reinstating international grants, and we are actively working toward greater abundance in the future.\n\n**We have news:** The call for applications closed in December 2025, and the decision-making team in TNi made a decision by the end of January 2026. And what a challenging and beautiful decision it was - It has been wonderful to continue to see the Transition Movement dreaming of new projects, energising our transition community, and it was so difficult not to grant the requested funds to all of them.\n\nThis round, we received:\n\n  * 52 applications from local groups from all over the world\n  * 18 applications from Transition Hubs and Territories\n\n\n\n**See below - I am sharing with you the successful applicants, celebrating them all!**\n\n### Hubs and Territories:\n\nHub| Title of the project\n---|---\nAbya Yala (Territory - South and Central America)| Council of Visions “Weaving collective wisdom around conflict transformation to seed a culture of peace” | Consejo de Visiones “Tejiendo Sabiduría colectiva en torno a la transformación del conflicto para sembrar una Cultura de Paz”\n\nBelgium - Reseau Transition.be| La Roue de la Mobilisation\nBrazil - Transição Brasil| Redesign Transition Training for South America\nColombia - Transición Colombia| Plataforma Viva Transición Colombia - Fase Piloto\nFinland - Jalotus - Kestävän elämän liike\n| Scaling transition streets with neighbourhood associations in Finland\nGermanophone (Territory)| Transition Dach Conference 2026 in Frankfurt September 18th-20th\nGermany - Transition Netzwerk e.V.| New Website for the German Hug\nJapan - トランジション・ジャパン| Transition ASIA symposium 2026\nLondon - London Transition Hub| Convening and communicating for change\nMexico - Transición México| Micelio Colaborativo Hub México.

Now, there is a **space** where you can be an active part of this beautiful community - where we can support and care for one another, and where we can all inspire and be inspired by the stories of these and other groups from all over the world, contributing for the change we need. So, I invite you **to stay connected** with other Transition groups, Hubs and TN through our _Community Waves platform_ and other shared spaces.",
