Welcome to SEEDS San Diego (Sending Economic Encouragement to the Distressed), a ministry of High/Ground. We are a giving circle* of Christian women with a vision to make a substantial difference in the lives of the needy. Our mission statement reads, “The purpose of this Christ-centered giving circle is to direct financial gifts to selected evangelical Christian nonprofit ministries that serve those in need.”

Our objective is to bring a large group of women together to participate in a simple plan of pooling resources to impact lives in a greater way. We are doing away with traditional fundraising—i.e. events, sales, dinners, etc.— in favor of a yearly contribution which we will split between two Christian nonprofit organizations, one in San Diego and one international, that help those in need.

You might wonder just why we’re initiating a new funding idea in the midst of such turbulent economic times. First, if we’re hurting we know the chronically hurting are hurting even more. Second, we believe that the best response is not cowering in our own little caves but planting seeds of hope, giving what we can to make something grow.

It’s recorded that Martin Luther was once asked what he would do if he knew the world would end tomorrow. “I would plant a tree today,” he said. It is in this spirit of hope and continuance that we offer SEEDS to you.

Explore our website. We are doing all we can to keep our giving circle as hassle free as possible for you and for us. So read through what we’ve assembled here—including our FAQs pages—and email us with any questions.
