What is the Leland Educational Foundation (LEF)?

The Leland Educational Foundation (LEF), is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose primary mission is to raise money that is used by the students and teachers at Leland Public School for the enhancement and enrichment of the students’ learning experience. The LEF is separate from the public school and is controlled by a volunteer board of directors that includes parents, teachers and community members.

Every student at Leland Public School benefits from the funds that are raised through LEF!  Requests, which we call grants, are given for things like class field trips, camps, new equipment, mentoring programs, special requests from teachers, and other experiences, programming and materials that the school may not have in their budget.  The fulfillment of these grant requests contributes greatly to the World Class education that students receive at Leland Public School.

The LEF is funded through donations, sponsorships and special fund raising events. LEF also relies on the generous sponsorships and contributions that are received from the community, parents, staff, business owners and alumni that love and support Leland Public School and its students.
