SEEDs of Hope was created by the partners of S.E.E.D. Planning Group as a way to give back to their communities. This initially took form by serving as a resource for non-profits and organizations to receive coaching in problem solving and sustainable fundraising.
The partners then evolved to identifying the incredible burden of repaying student debt as well as teaching clients the crucial skills of personal financial management. This led the team to ask two questions that formed SEEDs of Hope:
What If? How Might We?
What if we could cast a stone that creates many ripples? What if we show up, do good and change a life?
How might we work together to create meaningful impact, challenge the status quo, and combine the heart of a nonprofit with the financial focus of business?
Since then, SEEDs of Hope has evolved and expanded from financial literacy programs to larger community impact projects as well as College Prep Bootcamp. Services provided by SEEDs of Hope are unique and unmatched in the community. While other non-profits are limited to a specific cause, SEEDs of Hope focuses on ensuring the success of all their partner organizations.
We strive to maintain a posture of "how might we help" in all we do and encourage our communities to adopt the same mindset. Join us as we work together to create meaningful change and foster a spirit of collaboration and hope.
Our vision is to be an organization that shows up where they are needed, help others, and changes peoples' lives for the better. We hope to inspire others in our communities to do the same.
Every project we start must align with our core values.
I strive to give back to this great East Tennessee community that has blessed me so much and continue to make it a great place filled with people eager to serve each other.

I am a natural born humanitarian. I grew up volunteering with the Special Olympics every summer, volunteering at the local animal shelter, and fostering animals. During college I enjoyed working at my local community kitchen to feed the hungry as well as serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities live their best life. I am excited to continue feeding my passion to give back to others in East Tennessee.
We should show up and help where we are needed. Not because it is expected, but because we can change a life.

I am extremely passionate about giving back to the Upstate NY community where I was raised and have chosen to stay to raise my family and work. SEEDs of Hope provides me with the platform to do just that.
My dad was a lifetime Rotarian and imparted to us the gift that volunteering mattered. Over the past 40 years, I have volunteered for my sorority, as a coach, in my church and on many boards. I have learned far more than I have been able to teach and received far more than I have been able to give. The rewards to serving are endless.
Volunteering in the Syracuse area fills me with a sense of purpose and community. Each experience not only allows me to contribute to important local initiatives, but it also strengthens my understanding of the challenges our community faces. The friendships and memories I create while volunteering remind me of the impact we can have when we come together to support one another.
I am fueled by a strong desire to make a difference and a deep appreciation for the wonderful East Tennessee community. I am dedicated to giving back and fostering an environment where everyone is eager to support one another, ensuring our community continues to thrive and grow.
When the Greatest Humanitarian/Influencer encountered a need in individuals or multitudes, His compassion motivated action. He fed, He healed, He taught, He comforted, He even wept. My desire is to somehow be apart of that, at the very least a tithe of that.
