Thank you Orca K-8 Penny Harvest for choosing SNG as your Grant Recipient!
We recently were awarded Orca K-8 School's Penny Harvest grant! Penny Harvest is a service-learning youth philanthropy program where youth between the ages of 4 and 18 convert their natural passion for others into action by collecting pennies and turning them into grants for community organizations. They studied community needs and organizations and chose to donate to us! Thanks Orca K-8!

Weed & Seed
Weed & Seed is a community capacity building program that assists communities mobilize and create partnerships to address violent crime, gang activity, and drug trafficking in our neighborhoods.
The Weed and Seed initiative is unique in that the local community actively participates in developing and implementing strategies tailored to address the underlying risk factors associated with crime and disorder. Seattle now has three Weed and Seed neighborhoods: Central Area/Broadway, Rainier Beach, and South Delridge/White Center. Weed and Seed is a program of the Community Capacity Development Office of the Department of Justice. Seattle Weed and Seed is supported by in-kind funds from the City of Seattle and other federal, local and private funding sources.
The Weed & Seed Steering Committee is the governing body for Weed & Seed. It serves as the highest authority within an organizational structure that includes subcommittee for the various components of Weed and Weed, program coordinator and other staff and links to local programs or initiatives that complement the individual sute goals and objectives. The Seattle Weed and Seed Steering Committee represents residents and youth from each site, community development corporations, public health, public housing, Seattle and King County and law enforcement agencies, state corrections and others and meets monthly, rotating the location quarterly between each of the 3 sites.
