Like the river that runs through our two towns, the Kickemuit Education Foundation (KEF) unites Warren and Bristol by fostering educational excellence in all of our community’s public schools.

KEF promotes innovative approaches to student development that are outside the scope of existing school budgets. Through events and donations from individuals and businesses, the Kickemuit Education Foundation provides grants to teachers and staff for high-quality programs affecting all grade levels and educational disciplines. These programs complement the existing curriculum of the Bristol Warren Regional School District, enhancing and enriching our students’ educational experience.

Please join our effort – we welcome your support!
