About Seed Commons
The Working World, Inc., doing business as Seed Commons, is a non-profit organization and certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) headquartered in New York City. Registered in SAM.gov since December 2013, the organization focuses on providing non-extractive financial products and services to underserved communities, with a particular emphasis on economic revitalization and community development. As a national network of locally rooted loan funds, Seed Commons specializes in supporting economic initiatives that promote job creation, business development, and community self-determination, particularly in low-income and minority communities.
The organization has consistently received federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), securing multiple project grants totaling approximately $5.1 million between 2021 and 2024. These grants include the CDFI Program, Equitable Recovery Program (ERP), and Rapid Response Program (RRP), all designed to support economic recovery and development in communities impacted by economic challenges, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The grants have enabled Seed Commons to expand lending, grant-making, and investment activities targeting low- and moderate-income communities, with a specific focus on Native American communities and areas disproportionately affected by economic disruption. Additionally, the organization has a federal grant sub-award with the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture Research Foundation, which aims to expand support for farm and food system businesses in the Northeast through local funding and fiscally sponsored projects.
