The Leander ISD (LISD) Empowerment Fund is to provide funding essential for educators to be able to implement deeper learning and improve ownership of learning for staff and students throughout LISD and accelerate movement to becoming a place where we help all learners prepare themselves for anything. We encourage LISD staff to submit grant applications to obtain funding for resources, training, or tools that YOU believe will improve the educational experiences or opportunities for Leander ISD students and staff. 

The Empowerment Fund application, Website and content is managed by Leander Educational Excellence Foundation (LEEF) and opens doors for staff to dream big, think outside the box, and seize this opportunity to prepare our future leaders for their success! In partnership with LISD, together we will review, score and award grants throughout the school year.

Funded projects will be aligned with the District’s strategic plan and five goal areas. With focus on empowering our LISD staff and students to own their learning and try out innovative solutions to challenges within public education today
