SeedSwell believes Houstonians will give more, and closer to home, when they are introduced to organizations doing work communities depend on.

An idea years in the making.
The seeds for SeedSwell were planted in 2019, when LaTanya Flix, a fifth-generation Texan, began thinking about how to better connect Houston’s people, resources, and community work.
Having served as a nonprofit executive director, donor engagement director, advisor to high-net-worth givers, coach to national organizations, and trusted partner to local businesses advancing inclusion, LaTanya had seen the work from many sides.
Across each of those roles, one truth became clear: the most important work doesn’t happen inside a single organization or sector. It happens between us.
We believe
People here already care. They need a way in.
A gift does not have to be large.
The organizations closest to the need know their communities best.
When connection is left to chance, opportunity is too.
Our founding-year pilot: Focused on Economic Mobility.
SeedSwell is introducing Houstonians to organizations working on economic mobility, helping people move up from wherever they start—whether that means leaving poverty, building skills, earning a living wage, or growing a business.
