Committed to Educational Advancement
mission
SEEDS stands for “Strengthen, Enrich, Enliven, Develop and Spark.” Our quest is to strengthen the mind and hearts of children, enrich their education, enliven their spirits, develop their passions, and spark their curiosity. SEEDS’ mission is to fund quality educational programs, award grants to specialized educators and to provide scholarships and funds to children in financial need.
SEEDS is a non-profit organization committed to the advancement of children’s education by funding programs in the arts, sciences, and humanities. SEEDS supports arts and education programs that promote stewardship of the land, such as organic gardening, environmental awareness, and conservation; and programs that foster academic excellence in literacy, numeracy, science and humanities. SEEDS is devoted to enhancing quality of life for children and their respective communities.
