People just like you are loving birdSEED

  • I really appreciated receiving the birdSEED micro grant. It came at a time when I was trying to launch special programs to make our youth oriented services more special. The kids love seeing their designs go from sketches to t-shirts and there is a real sense of pride when they see their friends from the neighborhood wearing one of the shirts from our line.

        The application was accessible and once I received the funds I was able to purchase all the materials to launch the LitLine.

  • Cash is king and the community is our collective Nest. Change comes from the organizer and the organization. The doer and the maker. The agitator and the innovator. We want to help with some seed money and we want to make a play for it the easiest part of your day, not the hardest. Our birdSEED microgrant program is in round two! We’re awarding $2500 cash money to a District disrupter who can wrap their project in three months.
