SUPPORTING THE STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND STAFF

OF BASTROP ISD

 

​What is the Bastrop Education Foundation?

The Bastrop Education Foundation is a local, grassroots, philanthropic organization committed to improving education and educational opportunities throughout our community.  
That commitment is expressed in two major ways:

 

• Awarding grants to district educators for new teaching strategies, innovative ideas, and other initiatives to enhance instruction and educational opportunities AND

• Recognizing exemplary students and educators.



Instructional Initiatives Program

Since our inception, the Foundation has awarded 315 grants, totaling $1,450,000. The grants demonstrate a tremendous wellspring of teacher talent, creativity, commitment, and initiative. The scope of the grants varies widely: affecting individual classroom, a full grade level, multiple campuses, or the entire district.

 

These programs are entirely supported by the donations of individuals and businesses interested in improving the educational experiences of Bastrop ISD students, teachers and staff.
