History
The KEEP Foundation was founded in 2009 by Jim and Cari Frizzell, a father/daughter team facing student loan payments after Cari's graduation from Grand Valley State University. Speaking to other recent graduates, they realized the severity of the financial crisis Americans are facing and wanted to do something to help.
