Kids Empowered by Your Support, Inc. KEYS is a 501(c) 3 charitable organization that relies on the generosity of local businesses, foundations and private individuals and does not receive financial support from the Bridgeport Public School District or the State of Connecticut. For this reason, the number of children we can teach depends on the amount of funds we raise.
