Support Seeds

​Please support We Are the Seeds with a donation. Generous grants from The William Penn Foundation, Public Media Foundation, The Philadelphia Cultural Fund, and Native Voices Rising help make our programs possible; however, individual donations play a critical role in supporting the staff work that allows our programs to exist and thrive.

As we enter a new year, your support helps We Are the Seeds sustain the staff capacity needed to develop programs, build relationships, and coordinate inclusive, well-run events that serve Indigenous communities in Philadelphia and beyond.

​Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. Your generosity keeps our work strong and our communities connected. Thank you for your support.​

Seeds Art Market

This year we launched Seeds Art Market, an Indigenous-led, non-profit marketplace that features fine art, fashion, books, and home goods, all created by Indigenous artists who define the value of our own creativity. Invest in cultural sovereignty, sustainability, and Indigenous creativity by shopping at Seeds Art Market, featuring works from 30 artists and growing!

Happy New Year

From our hearts to yours
