WHO ​WE ARE

Moorhead Legacy Education Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to the continued excellence of the educational experience for all students in Moorhead Area Public Schools ISD 152. Through MLEF, individuals and businesses can support programs and activities in the Moorhead Area Public Schools not funded by tax money. While it works closely with Moorhead Area Public Schools, MLEF is a separate tax-exempt community foundation incorporated in Minnesota. The Moorhead Legacy Education Foundation is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors, including business professionals, community leaders and district representatives.
