Hemera, the Greek goddess of day, seeks to shine a light on issues that have been forgotten, stories that must be told, or people seeking help or refuge. 

Hemera’s work starts with the belief that in an interconnected world, a spiritual practice creates the space for self-awareness that promotes personal well-being and a compassionate connection with self, family, community, and nature.

Hemera’s grantmaking focuses on the promotion of contemplative practices that enhance self-awareness and promote compassionate, empathetic, and supportive relationships. We further emphasize programs that focus on the healthy development of children and adolescents.
