Our Mission

We are dedicated to guiding nonprofit startups in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area by fostering meaningful connections and empowering founders to thrive.

With a whole-person approach, we create a personalized road map and build a strong foundation through challenging questions, progress meetings, and integrated support, ensuring both the individual and their endeavor are nurtured.

Our Approach

We believe starting a nonprofit is like nurturing life—it requires care, intentionality, and a deep connection to purpose. This process is not just about logistics and planning; it’s about creating something meaningful, sustainable, and connected to your values and community. Our roadmap helps ensure that every step is grounded in purpose and designed for long-term success.

Behind the Name

We chose the name Seed because we believe every venture begins as a small, powerful idea—full of potential, purpose, and possibility. Just like a seed, a business or nonprofit needs the right conditions to grow: care, clarity, support, and time.

At Seed, we nurture early-stage founders as they plant bold ideas, root them in their values, and build something lasting for their communities.
