Mission
SeedMoney partners with underserved communities in the U.S. and internationally to grow healthy food and build resilience through sustainable, community-led public gardens. We provide crowdfunding tools, challenge grants, and technical support to help schools, food banks, and grassroots groups establish and sustain their own community gardens. By helping communities help themselves, we improve food access, enhance food security, and strengthen local food systems while promoting environmental stewardship.
Program accomplishments
- SeedMoney operates a crowdgranting model that combines small institutional grants with community-powered crowdfunding to finance grassroots food garden projects worldwide. Each year, schools, food banks, community gardens, and grassroots groups apply to participate in the SeedMoney Challenge, a time-limited crowdfunding competition during which participating projects raise funds from their own networks. SeedMoney provides matching challenge grants to top-performing projects, multiplying the impact of community giving and creating strong incentives for grassroots fundraising. During the fiscal year, SeedMoney supported 319 community food garden projects through the 2024 Challenge, resulting in more than $471,000 in combined community contributions and SeedMoney grants distributed across 40 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and 26 additional countries. The program achieved a leverage ratio of 4.78 to 1, meaning every dollar SeedMoney granted from its own funds mobilized more than four additional dollars in community investment. Beyond financial support, SeedMoney provides participating projects with free campaign coaching, fundraising and storytelling guidance, communications resources, and technical assistance throughout the Challenge. The organization maintains an online platform that enables projects to manage donations, share their stories, and connect with supporters. SeedMoney also produces and distributes educational and outreach content, including its impact map, project directory, and "Why Food Gardens?" resource, to drive participation, recognize project achievements, and build public understanding of community food gardens as a tool for food access, food security, and environmental stewardship. Since 2003, SeedMoney has directed more than $3.6 million to over 3,360 community food garden projects across all 50 U.S. states and more than 60 countries.Expenses $555,599 · grants $477,479
