SEEDS EcoSchool is supported by federal funding for summer camp and after school programs. This support has been suddenly frozen with no guarantee that it will ever be released.
SEEDS is in the middle of hosting 12 free summer camps across the region. If we stop now, it would leave 250 students and their families suddenly without planned childcare in July and next year. Kids who have been looking forward to field trips and summer friends, and their families who count on SEEDS for childcare, will suddenly have nowhere to go.
SEEDS is unwilling to abandon the students and local families who are relying on us. We are committed to finishing the remaining weeks of summer camp as planned and promised. However, if the previously committed federal grant funding is clawed back, SEEDS could lose up to $5,665,000 intended to serve K12 students in Benzie, Kaleva, Mesick, Fife Lake, Kalkaska, and Marion between now and summer 2029. Please help by donating to our Say Yes to Kids campaign.
Your donation will help us keep our youth programs open across Northern Michigan. If the funds for the 2025-2026 school year are released, your gift will go towards keeping our youth programs open in the 2026-2027 school year.
