The Extra newspaper recently highlighted MLEF's new planned giving and endowment campaign. Nancy Edmonds Hanson writes, "When Moorhead students and teachers need a helping hand, the Moorhead Legacy Education Foundation is there for them. Whether it’s an educator needing support for an innovative STEM project or youngsters whose families have come up short on providing essential supplies, the organization directed by faithful local supporters of education stands ready to lend a helping hand.

MLEF awarded $95,000 in scholarships to 84 graduating seniors and 4 alumni pursuing higher education. This is possible thanks to our scholarship donors, endowments and our annual Phonathon.
