Bright Ideas Program
Bright Ideas Education Grants
The NC Bright Ideas program has expanded learning opportunities for students and teachers for over 25 years by awarding grants to North Carolina teachers to support innovative, classroom-based projects that wouldn’t typically be funded by schools. Sponsored through North Carolina’s Touchstone Energy cooperatives, Bright Ideas supports teachers who believe enhanced education inspires young minds, which is similar to EnergyUnited’s core value to create a brighter tomorrow within our communities.
Since 1994, EnergyUnited and the Bright Ideas program has funded more than 13,500 projects for local teachers across 19 counties in North Carolina, impacting over more than 2.8 million students.
