History

The LEF Foundation was incorporated in California in 1985 and endowed by a gift made by its president, Marion E. Greene, and her family. From the onset, LEF was committed to supporting the contemporary arts in all disciplines, with a focus on the context for this work in both the urban and natural environments.

LEF Foundation operates within two regional areas: New England and California. Guided by the overarching mission of the Foundation, each has identified funding priorities and established guidelines for applying.
