A long track record of careful stewardship
SeedChange, formerly USC Canada, is one of Canada’s oldest international charities. We have been helping donors and funders seed real change on the ground since 1945.
Our longstanding partnership with Global Affairs Canada (GAC) makes current programs possible in Kenya, Ethiopia and Tanzania. The generosity of multiple foundations and donors allows us to spread our impact to programs in Honduras, Mali and Ghana.
In Canada, our work is funded by government, foundations, and charitable contributions from generous individual donors.
Grants from other family foundations and charitable contributions from donors make the rest of our work possible.
How we fund our work
Delivering thoughtful projects that create real impact requires long-term investments from everyone involved, from donors to farmers. We strive to diversify our funding sources to provide our partners the stability they need to do good work. (2025 statistics)
