Leander ISD Educational Excellence Foundation

About this Nominee

The Leander Educational Excellence Foundation (LEEF) believes in a future where all Leander ISD students and staff have the educational resources to be successful. LEEF was founded in 2007 by a group of volunteers with the mission to raise funds to fill in the funding gap left by the state and keep the LISD schools top-notch. This first funding initiative was providing Leander ISD teachers grants for their classrooms.

Over the past 17 years Leander Educational Excellence Foundation has invested more than $4.4 million dollars in both districtwide and classroom funding for all Leander ISD students and teachers across LISD's 50 campuses and departments. At LEEF, we believe in the power of education by building strategic partnerships with community members and business donors that promote innovation and support opportunities that prepare LISD students for anything.
