Lincoln Education Association Foundation
Overview
The LEA Foundation (LEAF) was established to support members of the Lincoln Education
Association through distribution of scholarships to current members and future teachers. LEAF also
was established to provide philanthropic support to members in catastrophic need.
With our members’ support and fundraising efforts, we are now able, in addition to scholarships, to
offer both monetary support on an application basis to aid members who are facing a catastrophic
situation or who would like to apply for teacher grants to be used in the classroom.
Applications for catastrophic assistance will be reviewed by a committee of LEAF Board members
who will meet four times a year and award monetary assistance up to $250 per approved request.
Four $250 certificated professional grants (two elementary and two secondary) applications will be
granted. One elementary and one secondary grant will be awarded each semester.
