Welcome and Thank You for visiting our Website!

The East Lansing Educational Foundation (ELEF) is a community-based, non-profit organization that works to raise, manage and distribute private funds to complement the outstanding work of our public school system. Since our inception, ELEF has granted well over $100,000 to East Lansing’s classrooms that has provided teachers with innovative and supplemental materials that further engage our students in their process of learning. Please enjoy the information provided to you. We hope you join us in our quest to make supplemental materials and programs available, adding to the exceptional learning environment for which East Lansing is known.
