NEW YORK | Inspired by Seeds of Peace's proposal, the Advisory Board [1] of the Chase Community Giving Challenge has awarded Seeds of Peace one of six additional $100,000 grants [2].

The panel, which includes NBA Hall of Famer David Robinson and actress Eva Longoria, announced Monday that it will award Seeds of Peace an additional $100,000 towards empowering the next generation of leaders [3].

During the $25,000 first round of the Challenge, Seeds of Peace competed against hundreds of thousands of other non-profits to advance to the final round, along with 99 other groups.

“This challenge inspired and energized the Seeds of Peace family to reach out to our communities in unique ways,” said Seeds of Peace Director Leslie Lewin.

From a mosque in Kabul to a high school newspaper in Chicago, Seeds around the world used a wide range of platforms to gather support.
