Bakersfield and Kern County are full of wonderful people working hard to make our community a better place to live, learn, work and play. While great things are happening, there’s a lot of work still to do.

We understand that funding can be challenging for many organizations and individuals.

SeedCore Foundation supports private Christian schools and educators, entrepreneurial development, higher education scholarships, and local community charities.

Our Mission

To invest in people’s God-given purpose so that they can improve their communities. We do this through supporting Christian Education, Scholarships, Faith-Based Causes, and Entrepreneurship.
