FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Going to Seed is an all-volunteer, international organization.
Our overhead is low, with most of our funds spent on technical
infrastructure such as software and website, printing, and postage.
We began fundraising in January 2023, under the fiscal sponsorship
of Empowerment Works. We raised nearly $50k in our first year,
about half from individual donors, and half from a grant from the Clif
Family Foundation. Those individual donations came from over 600
people, mostly accompanying course enrollments or seed orders.
This money has allowed us to make our courses, seeds, and
community free and accessible for everyone. We believe
that seeds and knowledge should not be commercialized.
We are grateful to be able to distribute both as gifts.
In 2024, a significant portion of funds will go toward farmer
support grants. Additional funding will support expansion
of local community projects, our national Seed Share
Program, and travel to conferences and events.
