The Kensington Education Foundation (KEF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established in 1983, with a mission of delivering academic enrichment programs to Hilltop students. The organization supports educational programs that supplement and extend the academic offerings funded by our school district. The KEF also provides financial resources to help Hilltop School mitigate the impact of changes to academic funding at the state and district level.

Donations for our annual online and live auction “Garden Party” helps us raise money to staff teachers who instruct our children in science, art, Spark physical education, and Youth in Arts Music Residency — all of which our Richmond-based school district can no longer fund. This support also helps fund a school librarian, critical reading and math support for students performing below grade level.

Public education funding in California remains unstable, and we ask for donations for our auction that allows us to support these important education programs. We hope that we can count on your support.

Your generosity makes a difference in the lives of our children!

A heartfelt thank you in advance for considering this request to support our school!
