Each year, Snake River Seed Cooperative donates thousands of seed packets to community organizations involved in growing community connections through education, farming, gardening, nutrition, food, and seed saving. Our seed donations have gone to community and non-profit gardens, school teaching gardens, seed libraries, non-profit fundraisers and auctions, and community incentive programs.
Our hope is that through these donations, we can support the lives of those in need and share the joy and history that our seeds hold.
Community Seeds Requests are Now Open for the 2025 Season.
Requests will be accepted through December 6th, 2024.
If you received seeds from us in past seasons we would love to hear how they did! There is an opportunity in the application to share photos and a report. We also welcome and encourage reviews on the seeds themselves, available on every seed we carry on our webstore.
If you are working with a nonprofit or other organization who has the option to include a budget for seeds in your grant applications annually, please consider doing that with our seeds!
Reach out to info @ snakeriverseeds.com with your inquiry with the subject line: Nonprofit Project Request
When you choose to do this, your budget will also support regional small scale farmers who work hard to steward the seeds we all care for. PLUS, you can pick the seeds you prefer for your project.
