Why SEED exists
SEED Initiative was founded to expand equitable participation in the legal cannabis economy, with a focus on communities historically excluded from opportunity. We operate as a bridge between community, education, and the regulated industry—supporting readiness, responsible participation, and clearer pathways into the sector.
Our approach
- Education grounded in regulation and responsibility
- Workforce and entrepreneurship readiness
- Neutral convening and ecosystem connection
- Program delivery with optional reporting
Neutrality statement
SEED supports informed participation in a regulated market. We do not promote consumption. Our role is readiness and education—ensuring opportunity is matched by preparation and responsibility.
Governance
As a nonprofit, SEED reinvests resources into programming aligned to our mission. Revenue from partnerships and delivery supports program sustainability and access.
