What happened
Seeding Sovereignty describes itself on its home page as "A Collective For Liberation Of Land And Body." The page lists climate justice work, including a Protect the Arctic campaign, a Climate Portal that maps environmental data, water-testing programs, a Community Action Portal, a podcast, and grants to grassroots organizers and community leaders on the frontlines of climate solutions.
The site states that Seeding Sovereignty is fiscally sponsored by the Center for Nuleadership for Urban Solutions. ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer lists that sponsor as the Center For Nuleadership On Urban Solutions Inc of Brooklyn, New York, a 501(c)(3) with tax exemption issued in September 2019. Its site shows no EIN of Seeding Sovereignty's own.
Its site does not say who leads Seeding Sovereignty, whether the collective is Indigenous-led, or whether it does any land return, purchase or stewardship work. Its Who We Are page showed no readable text. Its Givebutter donation page has been reported as not accepting donations.
Because its site does not show its leaders or land programs, Seeding Sovereignty should not be treated as a land-return fund. A reader who wants to give should ask the collective who governs it and where a gift is directed.
Good to know. Its site does not say who leads it or whether it does any land work. Gifts would go to its fiscal sponsor, a separate organization.
