Seed Award

Sprout Seed Awards are modest financial awards ($500–$10,000) that provide critical financial support for projects and programs in the early stages of development—when just a small amount of investment has the potential to yield big results in the community.

By seeding many small projects with catalytic-scale funding, Sprout supports, celebrates, and showcases the initiatives of young and creative people in the region with the cumulative power to create a critical mass of positive change for Pittsburgh, the surrounding communities of Allegheny County, Fayette, and Greene counties.

As the organization’s flagship and longest-running program, Seed Awards are one of the principal ways that The Sprout Fund supports innovative ideas and creative people that are making an impact in Pittsburgh and Southwestern Pennsylvania.
