Hardin County Education Fund at Central Kentucky Community Foundation The mission of the Hardin County Education Fund, Inc. is to provide supplemental resources for Hardin County Schools to expand educational experiences for children, staff and community in order to achieve and maintain a world-class education system. Government funding alone will not provide the "Margin of Excellence" demanded by our progressive society. Hardin County Schools have world-class teachers and staff who deserve additional resources to enhance our students' educational opportunities. To learn more about the fund, CLICK HERE. Partnership Grants Hardin County Schools faculty and staff are given the opportunity to invest in the school system through payroll deduction. 100% of the funds contributed to the Hardin County Schools Fund through payroll deduction go to the Partnership Grant Program. Grants are available to teachers for up to $500 for classroom enhancement to increase student learning. Through the years, the group has undertaken fundraising efforts for numerous special projects in the district including the Performing Arts Center, professional development, Smartboards and other technology needs.
