About us

Who we are and why you should help

The Longmeadow Educational Excellence Foundation (LEEF) is a non-profit organization founded by a group of dedicated parents in 2001. LEEF is both a fundraising organization and a grant-making organization, comprised of volunteers from our community who share a common passion for extraordinary public school education. We conduct fundraising events throughout the year. Funds raised through our efforts are then awarded for innovative programs and projects proposed by teachers in formal grant submissions. Support from the entire community is critical to LEEF's success. Please consider supporting LEEF with your time, your talent, or with a monetary donation.

Our Mission

At LEEF, our mission is to create and maintain a fund for the benefit of Longmeadow Public School students. This fund provides grants, beyond the tax-supported budget, for innovative education and enrichment programs. LEEF is an autonomous, established institution that not only strives to ensure the excellence of Longmeadow Public Schools but also to instill a sense of equity and pride within the community.

How you can help LEEF

Attend and support our events – volunteer your time – lend your expertise, talent, and ideas – make a monetary contribution

Please join us and actively support LEEF in whatever manner you can. Contact us for more information on how to put your talents to work for LEEF.
