Seasons Village

What Seasons Village does

Seasons Village is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 84-3639725) headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, that supports single mothers and their children through a two-generational model serving Wake County. The organization was conceptualized in 2015 by co-founders Kim Shirley and Melanie Crockett and began active operations around 2019. Its mission targets single mothers 18+ with at least one child aged 16 or younger, earning at or below 60% of the Wake County Area Median Income, who are enrolled or preparing to enroll in a postsecondary degree or certification program.

The core programmatic offering is the Pathways to Prosperity Program, structured as three sequential pathways (Acclimate for college preparation, Accelerate for career readiness, Ascend for workforce development), paired with the Seeds of Promise Children's Program that mirrors the maternal journey for participants' children. Services include tuition assistance, childcare, transportation, academic supplies, biweekly family dinners, financial literacy coaching, and the newly launched Roots of Resilience Entrepreneurship Initiative (a 16-week garden-based business program). Quarterly mental wellness gatherings (Sip 'n Share) and an Executive Suite Summit extend the service surface. Programs are delivered in partnership with over 15 regional organizations at locations including Macedonia New Life Church in Raleigh.

The business model is grant- and donation-funded. Revenue streams comprise individual tax-deductible donations (one-time and recurring, $25-$500+ with earmarked impact), four-tier corporate/event sponsorships ($1,000-$10,000), event registration fees ($45-$130 per ticket), and merchandise sales (notably $35 Giving Tuesday yard signs via an online Village Shop). The sole publicly disclosed funding event is a $20,000 Fall 2025 Impact Partner Grant from the City of Raleigh's Office of Strategy and Innovation. The organization employs 1-10 people and is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors led by Chair AnnaBall Hodge, with Executive Director Kimberly Hines Winborne overseeing operations. There is no proprietary technology, mobile application, or public API; the digital footprint is a Squarespace website and a Mailchimp-distributed 'Village Voice' newsletter.
