"We liked that project managers were the key touchpoint for our consulting team. These individuals were easy to communicate with and reported information to and from us to the team clearly and accurately. As a result of working with SeedCG, we are redesigning our website to improve our constituent experience and publishing monthly newsletter communications. We are aware of other aspects to implement and will be using the SeedCG guidebook as our go-to resource. Also, as a result of the experience, one of the team members is joining our Advisory Council, and we are excited to leverage her experience working with the team to carry out SeedCG's recommendations.

They appeared out of thin air thanks to friends referral. We identified a need, we put together a project scope, they put together a team and the job was done. The team was driven and creative, they checked in for feedback early and reasonably frequent, and tune the product perfectly. No fuss, no mess, great job. "

- Sustainability is Sexy, SeedSD, Spring 2023
"We loved working with SEED! For a small non-profit with next to no funding, I cannot stress enough how helpful it is to have the SEED consultants helping with designing business plans, budgets, outreach campaigns, helping with research that our team otherwise wouldn't have time to tackle, and more. We've worked with them for two sessions and it's been amazing to see how far we've come since our first 10 week consultation session, how much we were able to implement between then and now, and how much more we'll be able to implement moving forward thanks to their help - perhaps in time for a third session, if we're lucky enough? We love you, SEED team! Thank you for all your help, diligence, and passion. We couldn't do it without you!."

"Seed pulled together the many disparate pieces of our current work, integrated their in-depth research, and designed a coherent path forwards for us. Not only this but, critically, the group made a great effort to go beyond the technical to really understand our domain and the particular opportunities and challenges we face.
Like many small non-profits, we are spread thinly. Having access to this dedicated multi-disciplinary group of professionals was transformative for us.
The results of this project are already making a positive impact on our work and will be the framework for both our improved user engagement and our fundraising outreach as we move forward.
Yes, we're happy to share publicly any testimonial drawn from here!."
- WildTrack Inc.,SeedSF, Spring 2021
""It was great working with the whole SeedOC team on evaluating and improving our Chapter and Club network. Their consultants were thoughtful, thorough and really enjoyable to work with. They made the process easy for us as I client and I was impressed with the amount of research, evaluation and design they were able to put into their recommendations over the relatively short project period and plan to incorporate them into our larger strategic planning effort. We've utilized their expertise in the past and look forward to doing so again in the future!"
- The Surfrider Foundation, SeedOC, Spring 2021
"What I liked the best was that I felt listened too. Even if we were asked the same questions more than once by different team members, to me, that was a sign that the team was actually taking in and digesting what we told them. I felt nothing was missing or lacking in the final presentation."
- Amigos de Bolsa Chica, SeedOC, Spring 2021
"Besides being incredibly thorough in their research and insightful in their recommendations. SeedOC's team of volunteer consultants showed a passionate dedication to this project, which is evident in their work. Although many of them were unfamiliar with the indigenous history of Orange County and current struggles to defend land and water held sacred by the Acjachemen and Tongva tribes, they weren't afraid to ask questions, do research, and reflect on how the world around them has been shaped by colonization. Ultimately, their empathy and steadfast solidarity helped them the most in creating a final product that I believe will be instrumental in helping our youth interns build the movement to defend and rematriate land to indigenous peoples in Orange County. "

"SEEDLA is providing a powerful service to the non profit community by assisting start up organizations with critical consulting at a pro bono rate. The value the SEED team brought was larger than our current budget. They helped us improve our internal structure, work on brand management, marketing, and create tools to help us grow. I would recommend SEED to any non-profit that is ready to improve their organization and expand their work. "

We are very excited to be in contact with LAUSD about our project and have already had 2 site visits from them and ideas for collaboration next year. SeedLA consultants ask the right questions, bring a different perspective on projects, and help us organize our movements forward. "
