Mission and Values

Advancing economic opportunity for people, businesses, and communities in need.

Founded in 1987, Seedco is a national non-profit organization dedicated to
advancing economic opportunity for people, businesses, and communities in need.

We achieve our mission through two core program portfolios:

• Workforce development: Using our long-term career case management model, we help individuals with barriers to employment obtain, retain and advance in jobs.
• Work and family supports: Seedco helps low-income families successfully enroll in benefits and assistance programs and move towards self-sufficiency. Seedco’s proprietary EarnBenefits Online (EBO) software is central to this work.

Seedco serves many different communities, from rural farmland to urban centers, across six states: Tennessee, Maryland, New York, Georgia, Arkansas and Connecticut. Seedco operates as both a direct services provider and an intermediary organization, helping community-based organizations expand outreach and secure funding.

In 2017, Seedco became an affiliate of the Acacia Network, the leading Latino integrated care nonprofit in the nation that offers the community, from children to seniors, a pathway to behavioral and primary healthcare, housing, and empowerment.
