Description
This grant opportunity, funded by the MacAdam Early Childhood and Literacy Fund through the Blue Grass Community Foundation, is designed to increase equitable access to quality pre-K education, early childhood care, and literacy programs in Central Kentucky. The initiative aims to narrow the achievement gap by supporting organizations serving low-income students, students of color, English Language Learners (ELL), and students with special needs.
