Recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3, the Margaret Lefranc Art Foundation is a tax-free, non-profit, charitable organization. Formed in 1994, the foundation functions as a repository for art works created by Margaret Lefranc and associated materials that document her life and times. The foundation's mission is to place on loan and to donate selected paintings to museums in order to promote Lefranc's legacy; to educate the public concerning Lefranc's position as an important artist of the twentieth century; to retain various paintings for traveling exhibitions; and to sell various works from the collection to generate income for art scholarships based on merit and need. The foundation has funded the publication of a major catalogue of Lefranc's work, produced a film about the artist; and developed this Web site, all in service of its mission.
