SUPERSEED

Why am I doing this?

Yesterday, I was corresponding with one of my company's clients and I told him about Superseed. He said he thought it was a great idea. But he was also curious why I was doing this. So what's my motivation?

LOGO

I'd like to thank Eric Jones of " [made] creative" for designing SUPERSEED's logo. Look closely and you will see an abstract "S" in the circle. The extra stroke at the top denotes aspiration, breaking off and giving. "[made] creative" is a Moscow-based company. Eric donated his time and company's services to design and produce the logo. Thank you!

Our Name

"WHY `SUPERSEED' ? "

Superseed is a play on the word "supersede" which according to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English language means "to take the place of, replace". "Superseded goods" are goods that have been replaced by a new purchase or more recent model. This doesn't mean though that the superseded goods are no good. They're often still in great shape and can be put to use by others.

So that's the whole concept behind SUPERSEED. We take high-quality goods that companies and government agencies don't need anymore and we give them to groups at the grassroots level which can put the items to good use.

In this way, we're seeding the community. SUPERSEED.

Our Mission

SUPERSEED fills a critical gap by redistributing high-quality goods from corporate and public sector donors to organizations working with vulnerable groups in Singapore and the region. We are a Singapore-based non-profit organization committed to fighting poverty and promoting development through the distribution of superseded goods.

Every day, corporate and public sector agencies dispose of items in good condition when they refurbish offices and upgrade facilities. Currently, most groups simply throw out old items (taking up landfill space) or sell the goods at cheap prices to employees and re-sellers.

But there’s an alternative.

SUPERSEED accepts donations of computers, office equipment, medical supplies and more, warehouses the items, and then identifies matches with groups working at the grassroots level. We distribute the in-kind donations to grassroots organizations working with people in need, both locally and overseas.
