Tuition for
Seed School is $700 for the general public, $560 for a RMSA member.
Class size is generally around 20. We find scholarships are essential!
Our experience has taught us to expect no more than 50% of the total
possible tuition for any given class due to helping those in need. If
you do the math, you may be startled. RMSA may bring in upwards around
$7,000 to cover a potential $15,000 expense!
This is why
grants, ongoing monthly contributions, larger donations (from those who
can afford it) and periodic campaigns are essential to our ability to
sustain ourselves. Currently, we are in the midst of our summer campaign
and want to reach a goal of $15,000 in donations.
What will
we do with $15,000? Well, you already know it supports our
ground-breaking Seed School program (more than 1,000 people trained
since 2010). It also underwrites our Grain Trials program, Grain School,
Seed Stewards, Seed Summit, Curriculum Development, Media Outreach, and
simply just running our small non-profit of parttime people dedicated
to changing the agricultural paradigm one backyard at a time.
Rocky
Mountain Seed Alliance is passionate about keeping seeds in the hands
of the people by inspiring, educating, and networking like-minded
individuals to come together, empower each other and create seed
sovereignty everywhere.
Our work is not possible without your support. Please make a donation to our Summer Campaign today. You, your family, and future generations will reap the benefits!
With Appreciation,
