Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on December 6.
Seacoast Endowment for Education in Dover (“SEED”), a nonprofit organization dedicated to lifting academic excellence in Dover schools, is pleased to announce it has received a $5,000 donation from Mindy Marcouillier, realtor at Great Island Realty.
Throughout 2021, Marcouillier pledged a portion of her entire year’s sales to donate to SEED. This donation times in conjunction with SEED’s annual appeal. “This is the second straight year Mindy has earmarked proceeds for SEED,” said Natalie Koellmer, Chair SEED Board of Directors. “Our annual appeal is pinnacle to our ability to fund grants twice a year.”
SEED just completed its fall funding period where it donated more than $14,000 for tools, professional development and curriculum for Dover public schools not otherwise available through traditional school budgets. SEED has backing from businesses and residents alike who believe in achieving the highest level of educational opportunity for Dover students to make the schools even better and the city a more appealing place to move a family.
