KEEP Foundation


KEEP Foundation

The KEEP Foundation is made up of local business and community leaders. The Foundation exists to promote and support the program through various fundraising efforts. In the 2018-19 school year, more than $40,000 was raised for the Foundation’s “Campership” fund that helps send students in need to camp.

The KEEP Foundation exists to . . .

  • Promote a greater respect for our environment
  • Provide non-advocacy environmental and scientific experiences for our youth
  • Support ongoing program needs
  • Expand public and corporate awareness of and participation in KEEP
