Seed Media Group: About

Seed Media Group was founded by Adam Bly in 2005 on the following premises:

• Science is transforming our global culture and conversation unlike ever before, shaping markets, informing policy, inspiring the arts and deepening our understanding of who we are, where we come from and where we’re heading.
• The pursuit and impact of science is borderless.
• Science is a powerful tool for solving global problems, from climate change to clean water to poverty and development.
• Science affects every single person on the planet.
• Widespread science literacy is essential in the 21st century.

Our vision is to build a media and technology company for the 21st century that reflects and advances these convictions.

Grants and Community
Seed Media Group is committed to strengthening public interest in science and improving public understanding of science around the world. To that end, we support like-minded causes and organizations. For example:

• We distribute copies of Seed to over 15,000 high school science teachers across the United States, bringing breakthrough science communication ideas into the classroom.
• We support meaningful philanthropic efforts such as the ScienceBlogs Donors Choose Challenge and match reader donations inspired by our bloggers’ commitment to supporting science education at the local level.
• As a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, a community of global leaders that are actively implementing solutions to the world’s challenges, Seed Media Group committed $100,000 to raise science literacy.
• We donate free advertising across our print and online properties to not-for-profit organizations that share our mission. To learn more about this program, please contact us with information about your organization and a sample of your ad.

Environmental Responsibility
We consistently evaluate all areas of our business—from the paper we use in our magazines to the light bulbs we use in our offices—to reduce our carbon footprint and to encourage sustainability. To that effect, we are very interested in learning about products or services that would support this mission; if you are a potential vendor or just want to share your green ideas with us, please contact us.
