About SEED Seacoast Educational Endowment Dover

SEED is a non-profit organization founded to provide the tools Dover students need to achieve success as 21st century learners. SEED provides grants to creative teachers looking for funding that may not be covered elsewhere in the public school budget. SEED was founded in 2011 out of concern from citizens and local businesses about the 21st century skills of persons entering the workforce. Furthermore, during tough economic times, it’s a challenge for public schools to find the resources to take on new initiatives to better develop these skills in our students. Support from the local community can be very helpful in making our schools even better and making our city an even more appealing place to move a family. SEED has support from members of the community who believe in achieving the highest level of education and opportunity for Dover students and who are willing to donate funds to support this cause. SEED promotes the teaching and learning of 21st century skills by better preparing Dover students for post-secondary education and career challenges. SEED encourages creativity and supports Dover teachers in their implementation of new tools and teaching techniques. SEED appeals to Dover teachers to apply for SEED funding by submitting applications describing projects they would like to initiate. The SEED Board reviews applications and selects projects to fund through grant awards. Our main funding focus areas include: -Instructional Projects or Programs -Instructional Innovation (tools, techniques, technology) -Educator Development For more information about SEED and how to get involved, please visit http://doverseed.org/
