LEAF Portal: Available starting November 1, 2019. The LEAF Portal is where parents can view their child’s account balances, change contact and authorized signer information, and designate beneficiaries. Program events such as student deposit days and financial education workshops will be listed on this site. Login to the portal to find program forms including additional deposit tickets and access to online and community resources.
Your contribution to the Lapeer County Education Attainment Fund (LEAF) will help us to ensure that every kindergartner in Lapeer County has an education savings account. Donations allow us to provide financial education to our students. Together we can give our students the tools they need to succeed.
The Lapeer County Community Foundation has partnered with ELGA Credit Union, the Lapeer County Intermediate School District and every Lapeer County school system.
