WHAT IS SEED? SEED is the nation's first and only network of public, college-preparatory boarding schools providing a 24-hour, five-day-a-week learning environment. In classrooms, dorm meetings, dining halls, evening study halls, and exposure opportunities, our students become strong, determined, and self-aware. With the gift of time, we build a community of support that empowers students to own their educational journeys and to succeed in college and beyond. Our students’ journeys are not finished on their high school graduation day, so neither are we. Every SEED graduate has a college success advisor dedicated to their success thanks to SEED's College Transition & Success (CTS) program.

OUR MISSION The SEED Foundation partners with urban communities to provide educational opportunities that prepare underserved students for success in college and beyond. SEED’s innovative model integrates a rigorous academic program with a nurturing boarding program, which teaches life skills and provides a safe and secure environment.

OUR VISION We believe that all young people, regardless of circumstances, should be able to achieve their true potential in life. Together with students, families, educators, activists, communities, and policymakers who share this belief, SEED strives to foster a nation where: • Students who need it most have access to a high-quality, college-preparatory, public boarding education; • Low-income, first-generation, college-bound students receive the support they need to thrive in college and beyond; and • Our public education system embraces innovation to empower all students to own their educational journeys. SEED will continue to build on its expertise and proven success to deliver these outcomes to as many students as possible, becoming a nationally recognized leader in education innovation and college access and success. 1

FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR Dear Friends, All of us dream about making the world a better place. Sometimes, such dreams dissipate because we do not pursue them. Sometimes, they evaporate because they are not rooted in any way. And sometimes, they take flight and soar because, through imagination, persistence and luck, they become a reality. Just over 25 years ago, Eric Adler and Raj Vinnakota thought Why Not? Why not give underserved, first-generation students the advantages they had by providing the first-and still only-public, college-preparatory, boarding school experience to increase the chances of not only getting into college but graduating. This became a reality when the first SEED school opened its doors in Washington, D.C. in 1998. Since then, SEED schools have opened in Baltimore, Maryland in 2008, in Miami, Florida in 2014, and, just last year, The SEED School of Los Angeles County burst onto the scene. Now, with four schools in operation and more than 1,000 students a day learning and chatting in SEED classrooms and hallways, SEED is more confident than ever that a 24-hour learning environment is what some students not only need but deserve, and that college attainment is the right course to pursue. We are proud of the fact that SEED students are achieving an 83% immediate college enrollment rate at four-year institutions, and a 68% college graduation rate at green-tier or right-fit institutions. Both rates are remarkably high when compared to peer groups. Jose Luis Alvarado, Ph.D, Dean of Fordham University’s School of Education, dreamed that he would go to college, even though his high school advisor told him college was not a viable choice for him. Notes Alvarado in The Hill newspaper in October 2023: “I and many others know from lived experience that earning a college degree is a right for marginalized students and can break the cycle of poverty. We know that a college degree leads to better health outcomes, a more engaged and responsible citizenry, that we collectively generate more tax revenue, that we become life-long learners, that our families and our communities are transformed, and that we have more control over our careers.” At SEED, we want this for our students. We want them to go to and succeed in college, and to succeed in life. SEED is part of a chain that helps students become successful adults. As Robert Kennedy once said: “Few will have the greatness to bend history, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. And in the total of all those acts will be written the history of a generation.” We are thrilled that SEED has made it to 25, and we are confident that in the next 25 years the SEED model will be made available to many more students in many more regions of the country, so that they, too, can dream their dreams and be successful at whatever they choose to do. My very best,

The Celebration Continues... This year, The SEED Foundation celebrated 25 plus years of public, college-prep boarding education and college success. In September, our community of graduates, leaders, staff, and supporters gathered to mark this milestone and SEED’s journey from opening the nation’s first urban, public, college-preparatory boarding school to becoming a coast-to-coast network of schools. We reflected on SEED’s success: our growth, our impact, our mission, and most of all, the hundreds of SEED graduates who are living out the dreams and goals they conceived as students at SEED. To honor the accomplishments and contributions of the SEED family, we have gathered 25 stories from SEED students, graduates, families, donors, and staff members. Scan the QR code below to access.

FROM OUR INTERIM CEO Greetings! Prior to Lesley embarking on a well-deserved sabbatical* in mid-September, she and I discussed a vision for the fiscal year 2023 annual report. We asked ourselves: In what way might we honor the progress made this year, while also underscoring the power of SEED’s 25+ year anniversary? An idea quickly emerged for us; let’s feature members of SEED’s first graduating class—the Class of 2004 from The SEED School of Washington, D.C.! Upon reading their stories, my sense is that you, too, will be inspired by their authentic reflections and thoughts on the past, present, and future of SEED. This certainly was my reaction, as their words filled me with admiration and feelings of gratitude for how they have enriched my life and the lives of so many. My time with the Class of 2004 started the year after they graduated from SEED. I had just entered the community, and my charge was to establish a college transition and success program with services designed to support students to and through college and beyond. Fast forward to today, and I find myself with the gift of warm and vivid memories of… • • • • • • •

visiting Ayesha at Ohio Wesleyan College and the two of us taking a road trip to see Deon, who was attending Hiram College; being mesmerized by the artistic talents of Warren as I perused his various sketch books; seeing persistence in action as Jaron and Tim knew that they were going to graduate from college by any means necessary; experiencing the wisdom of Michael, a modern-day philosopher, as we discussed every topic under the sun; witnessing the strong work ethic of Juanita and Yva who at various times interned at The SEED Foundation; marveling at the wit, infectious spirit, and fashion sense of Asia; and watching Monique’s love of learning manifest into earning multiple degrees.

The list could go on and on because I, along with others, have boundless recollections of the vitality and greatness of the Class of 2004. So, here’s to the legacy of: Ayesha · Alonzo · Asia · Bryan · Cotnell · DeLano · Deon · Eboni-Rose · Ehuniz · Jaron · Jeff · Juanita · Lisa · Michael · Monique · Shakima · Sophia · Tanika · Tim · Warren · Yva Their tenacity, brilliance, commitment to service, dreams, talents, and compassion are embedded in the soul of SEED. They paved the way and are forever a part of SEED’s yesterday, today, and tomorrow. In closing, I am extending a heartfelt thank you to our supporters. Your belief in SEED has made our ongoing commitment to the Class of 2004—and all the classes that have and will follow—possible! Warmly,

SEED'S FOUNDING CLASS

Reflects

The greatest proof of SEED’s success is illustrated in the lives of our graduates who are thriving in their chosen paths. In the next pages, members of SEED’s first graduating class reflect on their experiences at SEED which helped to cultivate their individual talents, skills, and interests. Since graduation, these Class of 2004 graduates have built pathways to academic, personal, and professional success. Each has traveled far on their unique journeys, pursuing meaningful goals, and using their accomplishments to give back to their communities. Their legacy inspires us to continue increasing the opportunities for more communities to experience a 24-hour, five-day-a-week learning environment.

AYESHA BEATTY

(SEED DC ’04, OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY ’08) I would like to start by saying “Thank you” to everyone who believed in SEED. When I think back on my time at SEED as the 20th anniversary of my graduation approaches, I feel that the mission is still holding true. It made a huge difference in where my life ended up, in the career I chose, and in the decisions that I make as a parent to my two daughters. My SEED diploma is on the wall of my office—it is my forever school. I first learned about SEED when Mr. Vinnakota [cofounder of The SEED Foundation] came to my school and gave a speech. I was fascinated by the opportunity. I was a good student, and I thought I could get more out of my school experience in the smaller setting SEED offered. My environment at the time was unstable. I knew I needed something else. The idea of a future of dead-end jobs, with the threat of no lights, food, or a roof over my head was not acceptable to me, and I was eager to make the most of what SEED promised. I was 12 years old when I made my decision, the age my daughter is now. I signed myself up for the lottery and I was the first girl selected to attend SEED! SEED poured a lot into the kids. Our teachers did a great job; you could be an “in between” kid and still have the teachers know your name. They were always providing engaging activities. They exposed us to a lot. When we had an African American woman astronaut come speak, it was eye-opening. I appreciated it in the moment and also 20 years later as I reflect. I will be forever grateful for the travel and summer internship opportunities. I now travel with my kids as much as possible. At SEED, I gained knowledge and experiences. In college, I gained self-awareness and the ability to be OK with myself. I would like to send a shout-out to Ms. Allen [The SEED Foundation’s chief growth officer]. In college at Ohio Wesleyan University, it was just me. I was doing well, but Ohio was not DC, and I needed her encouragement. There were very few African 10

American students, and a lot was dumped on me while trying to get an education. At SEED, I felt on top of everything, but in college, I felt like just a number. I am thankful I had SEED and my experiences there to fall back on. In my head, I transferred 20 times, but I’m glad I stuck it out—I was the first in my family to graduate from college.

The support I felt at SEED was a big influence in my career path. I always wanted to help people; which is why I chose social work. As a case manager, I support a lot of people who don’t have family. I ask them some of the same questions I was asked at SEED: “What are your dreams? What do you like to do?". The level of care is important. It is rewarding to see someone grow and get better. I advocate a lot for SEED. I think of the school as a little seed that continues to germinate. I recommend SEED to my friends for their kids. I have a stepson who attends. Some of my classmates have children there now. I love that some of the teachers are still there, and I can ask them to keep an eye out for my stepson or my friends’ children. What SEED co-founders Mr. Adler and Mr. Vinnakota came up with is a forever thing. SEED could be global! There are students everywhere who need SEED in their lives. Sometimes taking someone out of their environment is helpful and opens the door to possibility. It is good to see SEED grow. I marvel that SEED is in its 26th year and opening new schools— it’s always going to be my home.

EBONI-ROSE THOMPSON

(SEED DC ‘04, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA ‘08)

My experience at SEED was formative. And as a graduate of the founding class, I had a very unique experience that even my sisters who attended later didn’t have. I like to say, “I grew up in a start-up.” The combination of what it takes to build out a place—physically and programmatically— while you’re living there is an experience, kind of like building the plane while you’re flying it. Because it was an innovative idea, they were always looking to make things better; there was a high tolerance for change. I keep that in mind in my public service and my job—I want to make progress that people in my community can be a part of. I often ask myself, “What are the levers I can help pull to make sure kids have the same investment I’ve had in my future?” SEED being a small school really shaped my experience. My relationships with the adults in the SEED community were also very important to me. How could they not know us in such a small community? I still know them well now. I actually live right down the street from SEED DC, and I represent the school as chair of the Ward 7 Education Council, so I have a continuing relationship with the school. Two of the experiences that most shaped me while I was at SEED were the opportunities to go to Greece and Australia. My time overseas piqued my interest in international relations, with the idea of joining the Foreign Service. In Australia, we learned about Aboriginal cultures, among other things, which in turn led me to look at the dynamics around race and culture in the US. It was eye-opening, and I still think about it to this day. It continues to influence me in the work that I do.

When it came time for me to go to college, I chose to attend the University of Pennsylvania. I liked that it was in a city and away from home but also close enough for me to get back if needed. My transition to Penn was fairly smooth and didn’t really feel like a shock. I studied international relations. With 9/11 still fresh in people’s minds at that time, classes in international relations were a lot about security versus people and cultures, which is what I was drawn to after my time studying abroad. By the end of my time at Penn, I realized it didn’t really feel right to go somewhere else and do something else when there was already so much need at home. Instead of going into the Foreign Service, I started working for DC Public Schools, supporting neighborhood schools, then with Save the Children, and then America’s Promise, and now I do consulting on social impact. I also serve as president of the DC State Board of Education and am very involved in my community. In my work with the State Board of Education, I strive to help provide the kinds of opportunities SEED gave me. It is not lost on me that DC has one of the lower high school graduation rates but one of the highest rates of graduate degrees in the country. I want to build access to the highest degrees and incomes attainable for kids growing up in my world, to put them on pathways to be part of a thriving DC. I can’t see the opportunities and not want them for other people, the same way SEED envisioned a future for me and my classmates.

JARON BELL

(SEED DC ‘04, NORTH CAROLINA A&T ‘11) My mother found SEED because she wanted something better for me. I had a negative outlook on teachers and education after getting kicked out of multiple schools. So, at eleven years old—and despite my resistance—I was enrolled at SEED. While at SEED, I was pushed academically and socially. They helped me discover a love for reading, history, and science. They took us on retreats to places such as West Virginia to develop social skills like leadership and team building. As members of the Student Government Association, we gained analytical skills by visiting other boarding schools to determine if any components should be implemented at SEED.

The adults that we were surrounded by were key to the success of me and my peers—and to SEED’s success. We knew they were invested in us and wanted to see us prosper. Mr. Lloyd served as a father figure for me. Mr. Rubenstein, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Tamiyo made learning fun and engaging. And Ms. Brynlee took me from a kid who struggled with reading to a confident learner who sought more books to read. I know that SEED has one of the best educational programs in our country. 14

After I graduated from SEED, I enrolled at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. As a freshman, I was ahead of my classmates because of the academic rigor that SEED provided. I also had members of the SEED community—from peers to counselors—there to support me. The SEED community stuck with me when challenges arose that forced me to stop out of school. My commitment to not quit coupled with their encouragement and motivation led me to reenroll and to finish my degree in Social Work. I love SEED. Beyond academics, I gained a family Despite my initial reluctance, I know that my mother made the right decision for me. Many of my friends I knew growing up who didn’t finish school are either in jail or no longer with us. Without the safe environment provided by SEED, I am not sure where I would be. Today, I am focused on being a good father and on developing an afterschool program for young Black and Brown men. I hope to be a good role model to these young men and to provide them with a positive outlet. As I approach 20 years since my SEED graduation, I appreciate my experiences—many of which continue to guide me today. I am proud to see that SEED has stuck to its mission and that many more students across the country will also benefit from SEED’s programming.

TIM ANDERSON

(SEED DC ‘04, LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BA ‘11, MBA ‘15) It’s difficult to pinpoint what mattered most about my experience at SEED. From the culture we created to the relationships formed, the lessons learned, and the wisdom imparted—so many pieces of my journey still benefit me today. But one key factor that stuck with me is the sense of community.

I had mentors such as Mr. Taylor that knew how to relay messages to me and my peers in a way that we would understand. I developed a sense of independence and how to learn from my mistakes. And most importantly, I learned how to make decisions for my future.

As a member of SEED’s first graduating class, we established a community together. We all had pride in our school and this pride brought good things to SEED. It helped shape SEED. Co-founders Mr. Adler and Mr. Vinnakota had an innovative idea, and it has continued to morph into what it is today—a community of schools across the country.

As I reflect on my time at SEED, I am thankful that I persisted. I had an urge to leave to pursue basketball, but my father and Ms. Poole kept me grounded. They asked, “What do you want to do with the rest of your life?” I knew that I came to SEED to get a college degree and I knew that SEED would help me achieve this goal.

The importance of community led me to enroll at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. After visiting North Carolina A&T on a SEED college tour, me and Jaron Bell, who is one of my closest friends from SEED, knew immediately that this was where we wanted to spend the next four years. I had that same feeling that I had at SEED—the teachers, staff, and students at North Carolina A&T were all welcoming. In my junior year, I transferred to Liberty University where I secured a bachelor’s in finance and later a master’s in business administration. While in college, I loved meeting people from all over the country—from different walks of life. These experiences gave me the ability to appreciate differences. It’s also when the conflict resolution skills that I learned at SEED kicked in.

The structure and focus that SEED provided me is needed in schools all over the country.

I left SEED with a suitcase of tools I have used over the years during times of challenge. There were moments at SEED I may not have understood at the time, but that I was able to pull from as I matured.

It’s an experience that you take with you as you grow and become a contributor to society. And 20 years later, SEED still feels like home. I have moved all over the country, I’ve started a family, and now I serve as a contracting officer for the United States Air Force. But I know that I can always come back, I know who in the SEED community I can reach out to. I’m proud to be a SEED graduate.

Here's to the n

next 25 years! These reflections from SEED DC‘s class of 2004 shine a light on the legacy planted by SEED over 25 years ago. The paths their lives have taken since their time at SEED prove SEED’s foundational concept: that every child has great potential and deserves the opportunity to fulfill it. Their stories reinforce the necessity of our mission. SEED co-founders Raj Vinnakota and Eric Adler started the nation’s first urban, college-prep boarding school because they had a vision for the future—which they built in community with the students, families, staff, and supporters who were willing to take a leap of faith with them. In 2015, founding SEED staff member Lesley Poole became CEO, carrying forward the legacy and vision of SEED. Twenty-six years, four schools, and 20 graduating classes later, that vision has taken root from coast to coast. Each time we open a SEED school in a new community, a new group of founding students, families, staff, leaders, and donors take that first step into the unknown with us—the beginning of a lifelong journey. They believe in a vision before it becomes brick and mortar. Forging ahead into the future, SEED will plant roots in more communities. We will continue to foster a commitment to growth and excellence through innovations with our college success work, continuing to integrate our SEED 20/20 vision, and by enhancing our leadership and capacity. We are so excited to see the SEED family grow over the next 25 years. 19

" Twenty-five years later, I am still grateful for our SEED experience. My kids enjoyed it, so I enjoyed it. They received a stellar education, graduated college, traveled, and met people from all over the world. Today they are both thriving." - Jacqueline Echavarria, SEED Parent, SEED DC ’04

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT Board of Directors - The SEED Foundation, Inc.

Opinion We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of The SEED Foundation, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Foundation), Which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Foundation as of June 30, 2023, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Foundation and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Foundation's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and, therefore, is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. Report on Summarized Comparative Information We have previously audited the Foundation’s 2022 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated January 6, 2023. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.
