ALEF Fund, Inc Website Development
LEF Fund, Inc. is seeking a qualified individual or organization to create a new database-driven website which will include functions for our contributors, participating schools, and for ALEF Fund staff.
ALEF Fund, Inc. is a registered Georgia 501 (c) 3 Student Scholarship Organization (SSO). As such, state taxpayers can redirect a portion of their tax liability to ALEF Fund and claim a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit. Funds collected by ALEF are designated to student scholarships at participating SSO schools.
