Since SeedChange was founded in 1945, we’ve used a partnership model that differentiates us from most international development organizations.
Your donation allows a farmer to receive training and support from a local nonprofit they trust. Our team carefully selects these organizations for their agricultural expertise, transparency, accountability and shared values. Our partners help us understand local farmers’ needs and priorities, making sure we act in respect of the local culture and focus on the right projects. We, in turn, provide practical support and help ensure excellent project delivery. We visit our partners regularly, talking to farmers and making sure your donations are used effectively.
Our model means your donation goes further because our overhead costs stay low. Just as importantly, it helps communities increase their autonomy. You can rest easy knowing you’re seeding real change and building a more equitable world.
