What is SEED?

Special Education Enrichment and Development Foundation

SEED is a newly formed nonprofit organization run by volunteers to benefit students with special needs in the Lafayette School District. SEED is currently considering strategies to support a wide range of proposals that could support and enrich the education of special needs students in the Lafayette School District. SEED intends to raise funds predominantly through applications for grants from private foundations and public entities that provide grants. SEED will also sponsor community-based fund raising events to help build a support community for our parents with special needs children.

Please consider volunteering your time. We have positions both large and small- and it's all important work! To learn more, contact us at
