What is SEED?

The Saving for Education, Entrepreneurship and Downpayment (SEED) Policy and Practice Initiative seeks to develop, test, document and promote progressive matched savings accounts and financial education for children and youth in low-income families as a cost-effective anti-poverty strategy, product, and policy. To this end, 12 pilot programs were implemented across the country for over 1,400 children and youth. This short video provides a brief overview of the SEED Initiative.
