The SEED20 program features a high-energy event where the Class of 2024 will present three-minute pitches to both in-person and virtual audiences! Join us for SEED20 OnStage on Tuesday, March 26, at Central Piedmont’s New Theater where ten nonprofits compete to win by telling their compelling stories to you, our community audience.
As audience members, you will receive full access to:
- Hear powerful stories from 10 organizations pitching our region’s most innovative ideas for tackling pressing social challenges.
- Vote for this year’s Wells Fargo People’s Choice Grand Prize recipient!
- Watch prizes awarded to the nonprofit leaders who moved you and, quite likely, inspired you to action! (Records were broken last year with over $80,000 in prizes awarded.)
Options To Attend SEED20 OnStage
There is nothing like being in the room for the magic of SEED20 OnStage. In-person tickets are $85 and include a post-event reception where attendees can interact with the nonprofit participants and learn more about their mission and opportunities for support and engagement.
Livestream tickets are also on sale for $30 for those who cannot attend in person. For all ticket holders, the 90-minute show begins at 7 pm ET. Virtual attendees will also participate in the text-to-vote and have the chance to donate directly to the nonprofits that inspire them the most.
All ticket purchases include access to the replay.

SEED20 has become a highlight of the year for us—we always leave feeling renewed and inspired. It is so gratifying and exciting to see the innovative ways our region’s nonprofits are meeting needs, filling gaps, and finding solutions to problems that seem far less insurmountable when the community bands together to help out.
