Welcome to LEF.

Founded in 1989, LEF is an independent, 501(c)(3) charitable organization directed by a volunteer board of community members and is supported by two part-time staff. LEF is dedicated to reviewing and funding high-quality grants, submitted by Lexington educators, that bring innovative instruction and new technology into the classroom to improve student learning.

For over two decades, LEF has served as a conduit for community support, providing more than $3.6 million in private funding to Lexington’s nine public schools. With public education under continuing budget constraints, the need for public/private collaboration is critical.
