About Us
The goal of LEAF is to accelerate progress toward a world free of lead exposure by making grants to support measurement, mitigation, and mainstreaming awareness of the problem.
A collaborative fund
We believe there is more essential work to be done on lead exposure than any single philanthropist or other actor can tackle individually.
LEAF is managed by Open Philanthropy. We are humbled by the others who have joined us in LEAF, and grateful for their support and trust.

Managed by Open Philanthropy
Open Philanthropy is a philanthropic funder. It operates according to the principle that choosing causes is the most important decision a philanthropist can make, by seeking out important, neglected, and tractable causes where its funds will go especially far toward helping others.
LEAF’s work is made possible by logistical support from Open Philanthropy’s Grants Management team, which has delivered over $3 billion in funding to recipients around the world.
