Support Organic Seed · May 2, 2019

A Giant GiveBIG Thank You

Many thanks to our GiveBIG donors! With your support, we exceeded our matching campaign goal on May 8th. Thanks to you we raised over $5,000 in the one-day campaign. Together we are changing the way we grow food on this planet, starting with seed.

Giving together means your gift just got BIGGER

GiveBIG is a one-day campaign on May 8 that spotlights the collective power of nonprofit work in OSA’s home region. We’re joining forces with neighboring groups to have a bigger impact on the Puget Sound and beyond.

You gift to OSA is an investment in a future of food that puts people and planet first. OSA works hand in hand with farmers to grow the biodiversity of regionally adapted seed and to advance policies that support organic seed systems. We believe seed is a living, natural resource that belongs to the people, not the patent holder.

Don’t wait to give! The first $2,500 in donations will be matched by a sustaining donor. Thanks to early giving, we’re already on our way to achieving this goal. We want you to feel doubly good about your gift, so make your donation now!

Please help us change the way we grow food on this planet, starting with seed.
