The purpose of the Henderson Kentucky Education Foundation is the solicitation and receipt of gifts, grants, and contributions from individuals, groups, corporations, and other sources, public and private, to assist and support financially and otherwise the public school system of the Henderson County School District and to engage in all activities which advance the education of the students in Henderson County District.
Henderson Kentucky Education Foundation’s Engagement Grants:
A grant application process has been established to allow the district, schools, classroom teachers, and group sponsors to apply for funding up to $1,000 for the 2023-2024 school year. Grant funds should support a project that provides expanded learning opportunities and enhances student success.
The grant’s primary objective is toward instructional activities which have a high impact related to student outcomes. This objective can be met by addressing the academic, mental, emotional and /or social, or physical development of students.
Grant funds cannot be used for purchasing t-shirts, snacks, incentives such as prizes or certificates, or as a salary supplement. All items purchased using grant funds will become the property of Henderson County Schools. Any funds remaining at the grant's end will be returned to the Education Foundation unless a proposal is submitted for continuation.
