Opportunity Knocks Employer is Appointed by President Obama

Diane Baillargeon, Seedco President and CEO, was appointed by President Barack Obama to the newly formed Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Baillargeon will advise the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships on matters related to the work of nonprofit and community organizations as they continue their efforts to assist some of the most disadvantaged individuals, families and small businesses.

Seedco is a national, secular intermediary that helps faith-based and community organizations implement high-impact initiatives that assist low-income people and communities in moving toward economic stability. We have partnered successfully with both secular and faith organizations such as Citizen’s Advice Bureau in New York City and Centenary Ministries in Memphis to help low-income workers connect to employment opportunities and income-enhancing public benefits, and with the Episcopal Diocese Community Development, Inc. of Newark in New Jersey and Birmingham Center for Affordable Housing in Alabama to counsel homeowners avoiding foreclosure.
