Bridgewater -Raynham
Educational Foundation


The mission of BREF is to promote, sponsor and enhance the quality of the educational experience for public school students and their school communities within the towns of Bridgewater and Raynham, Massachusetts at all grade levels irrespective of race, color, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), religion, national origin, or handicap. The purpose of BREF is to raise monies supplemental to those received from public sources and to distribute those funds to the Bridgewater-Raynham Regional School District. Teachers and school officials will be able to apply directly to the foundation for grants to benefit the students and community.

Our hope is that the Bridgewater and Raynham communities will recognize our foundation for our encouragement of innovation, collaborative thinking, problem solving and skill development through diverse learning opportunities for all ages.


The Bridgewater-Raynham Educational Foundation is pleased to announce that the grant application window is now open for the 2024 - 2025 Grant Program. We are looking forward to reviewing proposals which are due by January 2, 2025. The Foundation’s primary purpose is to support BRRSD teachers, staff and students with resources that are not funded through ordinary budgetary channels as well as encourage programs that enhance and enrich the curriculum. Teachers and staff at all the BR schools (preK-12) are encouraged to apply.

BREF grant-funded projects must be academic in nature or otherwise in support of student growth and learning. Our goal is to have successful projects disseminated widely across the district, touching as many schools, teachers and students as possible.
