Healthcare Foundation of Wilson

Seeds of Hope Wilson is thankful to the Healthcare Foundation of Wilson for its continued support through nonprofit training and classes and for the recently completed 2025 Growing Greener Grant. This grant helped to re-establish and strengthen our Beekeeping Program, enhanced our Community Garden work and supported various outreach programs.

In November, 2026, Seeds of Hope Wilson also received a $500 prize from the Healthcare Foundation of Wilson for their 2026 Seeds of Hope Video.

Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation

Thanks to the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation for their 2026 Community Progress Fund grant. Seeds of Hope Wilson is able to stabilize our ongoing operations with the support of this generous grant. It is North Carolina Foundations like this one that are the backbone of support for small but vibrant nonprofits like Seeds of Hope Wilson.

Resourceful Communities/LegacyWorks

Thanks to Resourceful Communities/LegacyWorks, this 2026 Creating New Economies Fund grant allows us to further establish our Backyard Buddy Program as well as our outreach efforts through our Food Assistance Program. Resourceful Communities has been an ongoing partner with Seeds of Hope Wilson for several years now and we are especially thankful for their vital work in strengthening and resourcing grassroots groups to partner together and learn from one another.

Wilson County Tourism Office

Seeds of Hope Wilson thanks the Wilson County Tourism Development Authority for their 2026 grant support of our annual cultural event: Carnaval de Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead Festival which is held at the end of October each year. The Tourism office is always so supportive, and Seeds of Hope Wilson is glad that they are ever seeking to promote what a great place is Wilson, North Carolina.
