Legacy Education Affordability Fund (LEAF) is another Ohio SGO that was founded to provide scholarships for students at Legacy Christian Academy. Since the 2025 tax year, Legacy Christian Academy has recommended that donors contribute to the OCEN SGO rather than the LEAF SGO. The OCEN SGO is Legacy Christian Academy's recommended SGO.
