We want to give $10 million to social good organizations. 💗 Know any great ones?
A new cryptocurrency market cycle is beginning, and we want social good organizations benefiting - especially groups that are women-founded, working to help women, and/or uplifting divine feminine energetic traits like creativity, nurturance, and receptivity in humans of all genders.
Both non-profit and for-profit organizations are welcome to apply, as Seeds is about transcending the old non-profit/for-profit binary that is only necessary because late-stage capitalism leaves no space for giving.
How this works:
We’re growing our mutual aid fund to work to the benefit of social good organizations around the world!
To that end, we’re giving away up to $10 million USD in SEEDS cryptocurrency in total, with individual gifts of $25,000 through $500,000, so that social good organizations may experience the benefits of SEEDS firsthand, and gain confidence in using cryptocurrency tools to help make the world better.
The gift of up to $500K in SEEDS is intended in part to incentivize organizations to purchase an equal amount in the cryptocurrency Ether. Recipients will store their cryptocurrency securely, and will have full custody of both their SEEDS gift and the ETH they purchase at all times (which isn’t possible through banks).
Organizations will then be asked to ‘stake’ their SEEDS and ETH on the decentralized platform Uniswap to earn additional fees, bonuses, and potentially even surprise airdrop rewards via the decentralized economy. ‘Staking’ - aka becoming a ‘Liquidity Provider’ or ‘LP’ - can be accomplished in just a few minutes.
In doing so, the organizations will simultaneously help the SEEDS mutual aid pool to grow, providing financial access to folks around the world - even if they don’t have access to a traditional bank account - and the social good organizations who participate get paid for it.
History shows us that cryptocurrency market highs happen typically 12-18 months after a Bitcoin Halving event, and the most recent was April 19th, 2024. Relatedly, we’d ask that organizations leave their LP positions on at least until that time so that they can experience the full projected benefit of a cryptocurrency market cycle.
For example:
If you’re a recipient organization and you buy $50,000 worth of ETH, we would give you $50,000 worth of SEEDS. We can help you set up a secure, free wallet, and teach you how to safely store it.
You’d then take a few minutes to use your SEEDS and ETH to ‘stake’ in the Uniswap pool, and you’d leave it for those ~12-18 months, watching to see what additional fees and bonuses you’re rewarded in the meantime as the cryptocurrency market cycle progresses.
When you decide to remove your position, this can be accomplished in a few moments as well (we’d just ask that you give us a heads up so that we can plan around it).
Anytime someone buys SEEDS, it will also increase the financial reward to all participating social good orgs.
Longer term, our vision is to use the Seeds mutual aid pool as a tool to support thousands of social good organizations, so that they’re no longer forced to solely rely on the old ways of raising money.
Why are we doing this now?
We’re tired of seeing people who are not making the world better get rich in crypto, while so many social good organizations struggle to access the resourcing they need.
Our founder, Rachel, is a former pro stock trader who started buying the cryptocurrency Bitcoin in 2013 at about ~$90 a coin. She has seen this stage of the market cycle several times now, and understands that it can have huge upside potential.
Thus, this moment in time is particularly ripe to pilot this. Given where we are in the market cycle at the time of this writing, social good organizations could see orders of magnitude in profits. While past performance doesn’t guarantee future results, ETH went up over 40x last market cycle, and SEEDS went up over 3333x.
To spell this out more clearly, this meant that $1000 in ETH became over $40,000, and $1000 in SEEDS because more than $333,333. Through becoming an LP, even more profits can be earned.
This pilot program is intended to empower social good organizations to work with Seeds to strengthen an ecosystem for social good funding outside of traditional late-stage capitalistic channels, so that they have more resourcing to do what they’re already doing - improving this world.
