The Certificate in Education Foundation Leadership, CEFL, is the professional standard and is the only certification program designed exclusively for education foundation leaders and executives. This program provides foundation leaders with specific skills and knowledge required to lead and manage an education foundation, regardless of size.
The CEFL Certification Program is offered online in an asynchronous format that is self-paced with weekly deadlines. Optional weekly check-ins over Zoom provide a space to connect in real time with instructors and peers from across the country.
Each course is four weeks; the certificate can be completed in about six months. There is a "Flex" week between each course. This allows students the flexibility to work ahead, catch up on any missed work, or just enjoy some time off.
This six-course program is ideal for education foundation leaders, foundation staff, and board members who are passionate about the advancement of the industry, their foundation, and their professional growth.

Member - Complementary
The Loudoun Education Foundation (LEF) is one of the top fundraising education foundations in the DC metro region, out-raising foundations that support school systems twice its size. It's not luck. LEF and Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) leadership have made intentional decisions to create what they call a “recipe for success.”
The foundation and school system leadership work together to bring business and organization leaders to the table, inviting them to partner to help create classroom-to-career pathways that connect student interest to workforce needs. The result has been 1) more funds raised to pilot innovative programs and meet student needs; 2) an engaged business community; 3) and educators who can leverage industry experts to inform curriculum and classroom experiences.
This presentation will provide practical steps to improve foundation-to-school system relationships and, ultimately, raise more funds to support students.
