The Southern Economic Advancement Project ( SEAP ) partners with policy thinkers and doers to amplify their efforts and bridge gaps in policy infrastructure. We act as a connector, convener, and policy entrepreneur across issues and states, translating good ideas to the Southern context. Our goal is to advance policies that improve economic security, healthcare access, and environmental justice for all Southerners.
SEAP has a direct focus on 12 Southern states. And while significant wins are happening in each, our team understands the need for more work to be done. Together, we know that progress is possible.
Aligning with its mission and vision, the SEAP seeks out, develops and maintains strong partnerships with hundreds of leaders and organizations throughout the South. From technical assistance to microgrants, SEAP has helped implement policies that improve the quality of life for some of the most vulnerable Southern communities and families.
