Seed Donation Program
At the BC Eco Seed Co-op we are happy to donate seed to aligned community initiatives in Canada doing great work and rely on donations to make change in their communities. Our donations primarily focus on community initiatives around growing and producing food, Indigenous initiatives, educating on food systems, social justice, empowerment, community connections, and more!
We receive a large number of requests and do our best to accommodate as many worthwhile projects as possible depending on our inventory.
Our donation requests are now closed for 2024.
We will begin reviewing new applications in February 2025.
