We are excited to share our Wildseeds Fund 2024 Impact Report highlighting our work and the invaluable efforts of our grantee partners across the country. 

The theme of this year’s report is Tlazocamati, in recognition of the Nahuatl word, which expresses, Thank You. However, Tlazocamati translates to more than just “thank you.” It means "you and I are one in the fire of love of the universe." That’s how we feel about our grantee partners, funders and strategic partners, who are working diligently to protect our food and agricultural systems.

While we are incredibly grateful for the ability of resource organizations rooted in justice and liberation, we cannot deny the seriousness of this moment and its impact on our communities. 

Now more than ever, strategic communications are necessary to shift narrative power to those reclaiming and defending democracy. Since 2012, Wildseeds Fund has worked to ensure that food and agricultural systems are shaped by the people who sustain them—not corporate interests. Our grantee partners lead this shift by exposing critical food and agriculture issues, amplifying pathways to food sovereignty, building political voice, strengthening civic engagement, mobilizing policy advocacy, and organizing community-controlled economies.

In the face of an authoritarian takeover on the federal level that thrives on misinformation, scarcity and fear, our partners are leading powerful networks to counter deception with truth. Through collective self-governance, mutual aid, and storytelling, they are reclaiming power from those who seek to divide and exploit. But our movements are persisting!
