About this organization
Mission
The mission of the Foundation is to support teaching excellence and student success in the School District of Lancaster. The LEF was founded in 1989 by community leaders who wished to support teaching and learning in the School District of Lancaster. LEF began raising monies to support innovative and creative programs in the classroom. Students benefit directly.
About
The Lancaster Education Foundation's primary purpose is to support the mission and programs of the schools of the School District of Lancaster, serving as its non-profit partner for district fundraising, increasing amounts of scholarships awarded, supporting and increasing dual enrollment opportunities and developing a robust McCaskey alumni network in support of the School District of Lancaster, its students and its graduates. This past year, we continued our growth trend in our support of the School District of Lancaster. The growth was modest compared to the prior two fiscal years. In large part it was a year to prepare for the 2018-2019 fiscal year where we will provide over 1 million in support of the students and teachers of the district in administering the Gear Up grant funds.
