Thank you for your interest in our Giving Seed program. This program is intended for non-profit organizations, school garden programs, inner city youth programs, community gardens, seed libraries, food banks, correctional facilities, veteran programs and the like.

We have maxed our seed donations for 2024. Please check back next year.

In your order, please :

1. Describe the type of seeds you are requesting

2. Include name of your Organization

3. Quantity of desired packets

4. Tax ID Number

Without this information, we cannot process seed donations.

Due to the increased cost of shipping, we are now asking for those requesting donations to help offset the cost of shipping. We do not ship internationally, due to the increased security on shipping plant matter overseas.

Turnaround time depends on our availability and we appreciate your patience.

* We do not accept donation requests over the phone or via mail.*

*Due to the high volume of donation requests, we are unable to respond to all email/correspondence or donation requests. Thank for your understanding.

The Living Seed Company believes everyone should have access to vital, pure, open-pollinated seed varieties. Through The Giving Seed Program, seed donations have been sent to Haiti, India, Africa, Europe, Central America, South America, Myanmar and throughout the United States.

Over the past twelve years, The Giving Seed Program has given away over 13,000 packets of organic heirloom seeds to school garden programs, inner city youth programs, community gardens, seed libraries, food banks, correctional facilities, veteran programs and others.

The Giving Seed Program began with a vision to give back to our local, national and global communities.

We kicked it off with donating a collection for every ten collections sold. Today, aside from giving away collections, we are also giving away individual packets suited to particular growing regions and community needs.

* We only send one donation per organization, please do not request multiple times.

Please note that all donations, enter a queue and are sent accordingly. We receive a large amount of requests and if donations are not received the same year, they will be prioritized the following year.
