About Seeds of Change Foundation
The Seeds of Change Foundation concentrates large, mission-driven gifts to a small set of repeat grantees that work at the intersection of agriculture, health, and faith-based community development—often in international or underserved settings. The foundation makes both operating and capital grants, preferring to sustain long-term partners (multiple multi-million dollar awards) that run farming-input programs, medical/health ministries, and church-led community projects. Its giving emphasizes tangible, programmatic impact (seed/inputs, clinics, schools, community centers) rather than many small, exploratory grants.

About Seeds of Change Foundation
A defining feature of Seeds of Change Foundation is its repeated support for Farm Input Promotions Africa, including a $4.9 million operating grant in 2025 and additional multi-million-dollar awards in 2023 and 2024. That pattern points to a funder that backs long-term partners rather than one-off projects, with large gifts aimed at program continuity. The foundation’s recent portfolio also includes major support for Light Up Hope in Broomfield, Colorado; Asone Ministries in Sioux Falls; and Global Health Ministries in Minneapolis, showing a mix of agricultural, health, and faith-based community work. The foundation’s grantmaking is substantial relative to its asset base, with awards that frequently reach well into six figures and several that exceed $1 million. Its recent grants include operating support, program funding, and capital expenses, which suggests flexibility in how it structures relationships with grantees. The portfolio centers on tangible project delivery: agricultural inputs, medical and training support, and community infrastructure such as schools and centers. Repeat awards across multiple years indicate sustained backing for a small group of organizations that serve underserved communities in the U.S. and in Africa.

Education and community infrastructure are present in grants to Kakuswi School for the Deaf in Tawa for operating and capital expenses, and to Justin Wren Foundation Dba Fight for the Forgotten for a community center and school project.
