Greater Lansing Catholic Education Foundation

History

Founded in 1967, the Greater Lansing Catholic Education Foundation (GLCEF) under its original name of the Non-Public Schools Foundation was formed to provide non-governmental financial support to Lansing area Catholic schools. The funding was originally designated for teacher professional development, scholarships to worthy students, and other needs.

In 1980, a reorganized Foundation focused on securing the financial future of Lansing Catholic Central. In 1986, the Board of Trustees recognized the connection between Catholic formation at the elementary level and the high school and the mission was expanded to include financial support for 15 area Catholic Schools, religious education, and Lansing Catholic Central. The Foundation is a non-profit corporation commissioned by the Bishop of Lansing to encourage and support Catholic education in the Lansing area.

Mission

As commissioned by the Bishop of the Diocese of Lansing, the mission of the Foundation is to provide a legacy of financial support for Catholic education and families choosing Catholic schools as a viable option in the Northwest Region of the Diocese of Lansing
