Making a Difference, Together
We build community, share stories, and are everyday philanthropists.
Seeds of Exchange is a collective of everyday people who are committed to lighting up the world so that a mighty difference can be made. We passionately work to make an indelible dent in global human rights and in one another’s day-to-day lives. We do what we do because we believe that we belong to each other and that each and every person matters.
Sarah Davison-Tracy, Founder
Igniting fierce love, connection, and justice so that people are fueled by an unstoppable commitment to the well-being of one another is our founder’s passion. Because her life has been fueled game-changing experiences of community, storytelling, and philanthropy, she has woven these elements throughout her speaking, books, and leadership of the movement of Seeds of Exchange.
Storytelling
Stories change us … and our world.
They quiet and teach us to sit, to listen, to speak, to be heard, and to be seen. They invite us to comprehend and claim our own story anew as we take in the stories of others. They open doors within us to see possibilities for building community and connection, for creating simple and robust daily rhythms, and for cultivating meaningful work. The most powerful stories occur in the everydayness and nitty-gritty of life. Ultimately, stories change us and the world as they evoke more of who we are in thought, word, and action.
No matter where you are in the world, you can join us … or invite us to be a part of the amazing things you’re up to. Have a look at the many ways you can participate in whatever way feels just right for you – from watching a video to connecting at an event or inviting our storytellers to your next gathering.
Community
Seeds is made up of a prismatic diversity of people.
Our community (or “kula”) welcomes you to check out what we’re up to. Whether you’re interested in dipping your toe in to explore your unique purpose on the planet to make a difference or diving in wholeheartedly to support communities around the world and in your local community, wherever you are, you can begin. Right here and right now.
Philanthropy
Everyone has something of value to contribute, whether a little or a lot.
Today and together, let’s dispute the suggestion that philanthropy is an exclusive club only for those deemed wealthy. Today and together, let’s dispute that the only thing that matters and makes a difference is giving in “big” ways. Instead, today and together, let’s create a movement of philanthropists in which everyone is welcome and all gifts are celebrated. The movement that will be unleashed when we live as generously unrestrained philanthropists will light up the world.
Generosity feels good. It is part of your purpose on the planet.
