THE SEEDS FOUNDATION - FUNDING FOR LOCAL MISSIONS

Members and leaders from within Seeds Church identified the need for a vehicle to financially support local mission. Several significant funding gifts have been the catalyst to start the “Seeds Foundation”. The Seeds Foundation aim is to financially support projects that contribute to the community and share the concern and love that God has for all people.​

Funding is available for a wide range of projects that will significantly increase the mission effectiveness of Seeds Uniting Church. The Seeds Foundation team requires that applications, as a condition of eligibility for funding, will demonstrate full commitment to and engagement with the Mission and Core Behaviours of Seeds Uniting Church.​

It’s only through the generous donations and bequests of individuals that new projects are seeded and many ongoing projects will continue to be funded. You can make a single, monthly or annual pledge using different methods, including credit card or direct debit. No matter how big or small the donation, it all helps to ensure that our Church increases the mission effectiveness in our local community.
