PURPOSE -
The Independence Educational Foundation (I.E.F.) is a community-based organization designed to develop and provide a permanent source of supplemental funding for enhancing the quality of education within the Independence community. The funding will provide a mechanism through which resources can be allocated for worthwhile educational activities including general enrichment programs, fine and performing arts, academic excellence and more.
