SEED is focusing service and product delivery as follows:

1) Fee-for-Service: SEED is on track to become self-sustaining through the sale of products and services.  In 2007, the first growth year, 73 percent of SEED’s annual budget was met through earned revenues.    

2) AdVenture Fund Demo: A subset of the SEED Board, led by Christopher Duda and Louise Packard, is building a venture philanthropy fund that invites investors to participate in performance-based philanthropy and allows SEED to demonstrate striking measurable results with select, promising initiatives.

We're looking for a group of investors to supplement SEED'S earned income for three years as its tools and services gain widespread use and credibility, and SEED becomes self-sustaining.  Investors can take great pride in supporting initiatives growing their impact on important social issues.  We are offering two kinds of investments:  You can sponsor projects you care about to work with SEED, or you can give unrestricted funds.  All investors get quarterly progress reports on investments

The AdVenture Fund welcomes donations of any amount.
