No Event is Too Small to Make a Difference!
We encourage newcomers to start small. As you gain more experience, opportunities will arise to host larger events and educational programs in your community.

Are You Interested in Hosting a SEED Event?
Follow these simple steps:

Step One
Download our SEED Program Guide and contact our SEED Coordinator to discuss your ideas or just to find out more. There is no obligation to host an event.

Step Two
Select your event, set your date and begin the planning! We strongly encourage you to get friends and family involved in the process.

Step Three
Relax and enjoy all of your hard work. MIF will provide educational materials and support you in sharing your story with your participants. It will be a great time to meet new people and spread the awareness.

Step Four
Be sure to follow-up and thank your donors and/or sponsors. MIF will show you how to track donations and expenses for appropriate reimbursements. Write down your ideas for next year!
