SEED was established in 2003 to promote excellence in Shorewood’s public schools through grants and other contributions that ensure staff and students have the resources they need to succeed. The Foundation aligns its giving with the District’s annual and long-term strategic priorities. SEED funds applications from schools, departments, and classroom educators that advance the District’s equity mission, support academic achievement/mastery, promote student physical & emotional wellness, and promote character development & a civic mindset, and help students contribute to a better world by applying their knowledge and skills to improve communities through citizenship and service; and be good stewards of the environment. SEED funds resources, equipment, and technology that help to implement these goals.
