About Us
We support ideas from ethnic minority communities that advance education and benefit communities, with a strong emphasis on young people.
Our mission
Seed Education Trust is a Muslim-managed charitable trust supporting education and community benefit.
Seed Education Trust is a charitable trust registered in England and Wales. We aim to nurture practical ideas from ethnic minority communities at the seed stage, with a strong emphasis on educational initiatives for young people.
Our funding history includes teaching and learning, educational media, community activities, family support and wellbeing. Some grants have also supported the staff, equipment, premises and running costs involved in delivering that work. These are examples of past support, not a commitment to fund every activity or expense of those types.
