Making Education in Longmeadow an Extraordinary Experience

The Longmeadow Educational Excellence Foundation (LEEF) is a private, volunteer, non-profit (tax exempt 501-C-3) organization established in 2001 to enrich, enhance, and support the quality of education in the Longmeadow public schools. LEEF is committed to underwriting grants to provide our schools (K-12) with extraordinary opportunities beyond the scope of our tax supported budgets.

Our Mission

The mission of LEEF is to create and maintain a fund that provides grants for innovative education and enrichment programs beyond the tax-supported budget for the benefit of Longmeadow public school students. The foundation is an autonomous, long-term institution that strives to ensure the excellence of Longmeadow Public Schools and promotes a proprietary sense of ownership and pride within the community.

Who We Are

LEEF is comprised of 35 board members from our community who share a common passion for extraordinary public school education. We are a dedicated group of former students, educators and parents with and without students in our Longmeadow schools. As capable as we are, we cannot succeed without the support of the larger community.

How You Can Help

We need you. We need your financial support. We need you to lend your time, your talents, your ideas. Helping LEEF attain its mission benefits all of us. Please be part of this effort and actively support LEEF in whatever manner you can. Contact us at info@LongmeadowLeef.org for more information on putting your talents to work for LEEF.
