SEED Winnipeg Inc. is a non-profit agency that works to combat poverty and assists in the renewal of Winnipeg's inner city. We do this by helping individuals and groups start small businesses and save money for future goals. We offer business management training and individual consulting, access to micro-enterprise loans, asset building programs, and more. OUR MISSION STATEMENT To combat poverty and increase the social and economic vitality of low-income individuals, groups, organizations and economically distressed communities, primarily in the Winnipeg area.
SEED fulfills its mission by delivering programs and services that help low-income individuals, groups and organizations to start businesses and save money for future goals. SEED also conducts CED-related research, and consults with other CED organizations and community groups at the local, regional and national levels in an effort to expand the adoption of CED methods as the normative approach to economic development in Canada. SEED programs are designed to assist in the start-up or expansion of sole proprietorships, partnerships, social enterprises and worker co-operatives. Business consulting and training, access to financing, and resource referrals are some of the services offered to business clients. SEED also provides expanded opportunities for marginalized individuals and communities to acquire economic assets towards home ownership, education, and business start-up or expansion. These opportunities include expanded cash savings, financial management skills, and personal savings matched by other sources.
