Dear Friends and Family,

As the year comes to a close, we appreciate your continued support—now is the perfect time to make your year-end gift.

We’re grateful for the grants that fund our projects, though much of the essential behind-the-scenes work falls outside their support. Our staff produces programs, builds community relationships, manages logistics, and ensures pay equity for Indigenous artists and culture bearers, all while creating space for Indigenous joy and visibility in Philadelphia and beyond.

Funding delays and cancellations have created challenging gaps, but our commitment to our community and staff remains unwavering. We would appreciate your support in helping us move forward. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps sustain our team and programs.

Since our founding, Seeds has invested more than $300,000 directly in artists and culture bearers for workshops, presentations, school visits, panel discussions, art making, and podcast participation, supporting those who share their creativity, knowledge, and stories with care and respect.

Our podcast, From Here, With a View, now in its fifth season, has reached audiences in more than 40 countries with over 100,000 listens and views. The series explores identity, justice, and belonging while advancing cultural preservation and collective healing. As Philadelphia approaches its 250th commemoration, the podcast will host conversations that critically examine America’s founding narratives and uplift Indigenous perspectives too often left out of the story.

Looking ahead, 2026 will bring this situation: an examination of myth and memory, a multidisciplinary theater project exploring history and truth through a multigenerational Indigenous lens, our 7th Annual Seeds Philly Celebration + Powwow (September 19–20, 2026), and an exciting partnership with Native Nations Dance Theater.

Your generosity keeps our work strong and our communities connected.

With gratitude,
Tailinh Agoyo
Director, We Are the Seeds
