Support Innovative Learning
The Bardstown Foundation for Excellence in Public Education is dedicated to empowering students and educators by funding innovative projects, expanding student opportunities, and supporting major initiatives that shape the future of Bardstown City Schools. Through community support and generous donations, we invest in three key areas:

Mini-Grants:
Fueling Innovation in the Classroom
We believe great ideas deserve great support. Our Mini-Grant Program provides funding for creative classroom projects that enhance learning, foster leadership, and encourage exploration. These grants help Bardstown City Schools teachers and administrators bring innovative ideas to life—expanding opportunities in academic excellence, social-emotional learning, and leadership development.


Student Opportunities:
College & Career Readiness
Preparing students for success beyond high school is at the heart of our mission. We help eliminate financial barriers by funding Advanced Placement (AP) exams, industry certification tests, and dual-credit courses. This initiative gives students the chance to earn college credit, stand out in admissions, and graduate career-ready with industry-recognized credentials.
Major Projects:
Transforming Educational Experiences
We invest in transformative programs that expand educational opportunities, inspire learning, and prepare students for the future.
​
Every dollar we invest directly supports the students and educators of Bardstown City Schools—creating brighter futures and stronger communities.
