Philanthropy

Education for Everyone

Saeedi serves as the executive director of Education for Everyone, a non-profit organization originally founded by his father. The organization has worked to reduce barriers to educational access for approximately fifteen years, focusing on providing opportunities to students who would otherwise lack access to quality education.[5] Its mission centers on direct financial assistance, including tuition sponsorships and the provision of educational materials to students from low-income families.

Under Saeedi's leadership, Education for Everyone contributes approximately $100,000 annually toward educational initiatives.[6] The organization partners with schools, universities, and aligned organizations to sponsor tuition fees for students in financial need and to provide educational resources that would otherwise be financially out of reach for disadvantaged families. This collaborative model allows the organization to leverage existing educational infrastructure while directing targeted support to those who need it most.

Fundraising and Corporate Partnerships

Saeedi has been instrumental in securing funding and sponsorships from corporate partners to support the organization's educational mission.[7] The organization's approach combines direct financial assistance through scholarships and grants with the provision of educational materials and resources to students from low-income backgrounds.[8] Saeedi has emphasized the global scope of the organization's work, supporting students both within the United States and internationally.

Philosophy and Approach

Saeedi has articulated his philosophy regarding education and social responsibility, stating that "Education is the foundation for a better future. If we can provide opportunities for students who would otherwise be left behind, we are helping to shape not just their futures, but the future of our world."[9] This perspective drives the organization's commitment to identifying and supporting students who face financial barriers to educational advancement.

The organization's methodology focuses on partnering with established educational institutions to identify students in need and provide direct financial assistance that enables their continued education.[10] By working within existing institutional frameworks rather than building parallel structures, Education for Everyone is able to direct a greater proportion of its resources toward student support rather than administrative overhead.

Personal Life

Saeedi is based in Newark, California, where he operates both his accounting practice and oversees the activities of Education for Everyone.[11] His involvement in philanthropy represents a continuation of his father's original vision for the non-profit organization, though under his leadership the organization has expanded its scope and annual contribution levels significantly. He maintains an active presence in professional communities, sharing expertise in accounting and supporting educational initiatives.[12]
