Hear from our clients

  • "I found our experience with Seed to be very smooth and positive. They are communicative and responsive and easy to work with. We were able to hire them for two parts of our merger process thanks to a grant from NSI. "

    Kerry Armstrong | Executive Director | Home Dog LA

  • "Seed has been extremely helpful, easy to work with and very responsive to any inquiries, questions, requests, etc. They connected us with funding sources, legal services and other consultants as resources. They have been a pleasure to work with."

    Christy Schilling | Executive Director | Bark Avenue Foundation

  • "They were very accommodating and easy to work with. Paul willingly shares his knowledge and resources."

    Carolyn Chadwick | CEO | Tessie Cleveland Community Services

  • "Seed is amazing, full stop. It's rare to find consultants who truly listen, who embrace the culture of OUR organization, rather than insisting on their own, who ensure we get to the right place for US, and who make it all feel fun in the process. Every time we work with SEED we feel heard, supported, and like we're able to move forward."

    Kaile Shilling | Executive Director | Arts for Incarcerated Youth Network

  • "Thank you immensely for such a potent session and eye-opener. It was everything I had hoped for and it enabled my continuum an entry for further exploration of the process. Your presentation resonated for the rest of the afternoon."

    Ambassador Shabazz | LACC

  • "Evocative, challenging, enlightening, collaborative. The work of Seed Collaborative has strengthened our team and in turn, our work with partner organizations."

    Liz Baxter | CEO | North Sound ACH

  • "Paul Hudson was very results oriented. He met with both Boards of Directors and explained process of merger and associated risks."

    Jack Barbour | CEO | Southern California Health and Rehabilitation Program (SCHARP)

  • "Paul Hudson was a mentor to me from the start-up of ICEF and as it grew. He has a razor sharp mind, he is kind, and has a great sense of humor. One of the best humans I have ever known. I hope more learn from him, and I hope more foundations support his work."

    Michael Piscal | CEO & Founder | College Achieve Public Schools

  • ""I am already seeing a lot of positive feedback in our post-meeting survey. Managers are starting to internalize the lessons and they are seeing and participating in our shift to tangible actions. It’s very encouraging!"

    Anna Mendoza | Sr. Management Analyst | City of Sunnyvale

  • "Seed provided stellar facilitation and strategic guidance throughout our merger exploration process. Their deep knowledge of nonprofit governance, organizational effectiveness and racial equity principles positioned them well to navigate difficult conversations with ease and guide a diverse group of stakeholders to an unanimous decision to merge. They also brought joy to our process which helped deepen trust between our stakeholders and their team. We would rehire them in a second and in fact, we already have!"

    Tom DeCaigny | Executive Director | California Alliance for Arts Education

  • "The Seed team was thoughtful, strategic and process oriented. Our team was greatly impacted and benefited by their work with us...We love Seed and would recommend their team to any organization needing additional support."
