HOW WE WORK

In order to more fully achieve our strategies, ScSEED seeks other small non-profit concerns that are pursuing complimentary goals and objectives. ScSEED acts as an umbrella agency to assist these non-profit organizations by providing financial and management services they might otherwise not be able to attain on their own. ScSEED is able to leverage the complimentary goals of our fiscal partners to further expand our reach and achieve our overall goals and objectives as a far reaching economic development organization for Saguache County.
