Mini-Grants:
Fueling Innovation in the Classroom
At the Bardstown Foundation for Excellence in Public Education, we believe that great ideas deserve great support. Our Mini-Grant Program provides funding for innovative classroom projects that enhance student learning, foster leadership, and encourage exploration of future possibilities. These grants empower Bardstown City Schools teachers and administrators to bring new, creative ideas to life—expanding opportunities in social and emotional learning, leadership, and academic excellence.
Supporting Educators,
Investing in Students
​
Each year, the Foundation awards mini-grants of up to $1,000 to fund projects that inspire, engage, and make a lasting impact on students. With the generosity of our community and donors, we continue to provide educators with the resources they need to enhance learning experiences in meaningful ways.
