The Carroll Electric Membership Cooperative Foundation awarded a total of $59,479.65 to 75 Carroll County Schools educators this month through Bright Ideas grants. Bright Ideas allows educators to apply for funding for their most creative and innovative educational projects.
At the beginning of each school year, applications for grants of up to $1,000 are open to public school teachers teaching grades pre-K through 12. A school is automatically made eligible if an enrolled student is served by the cooperative. All classroom subjects are qualified for funding including but not limited to science, technology, engineering, arts, math and social studies.
To be considered for a Bright Ideas grant, teachers must submit an online application outlining, in detail, their classroom project and the expected budget. Projects should be creative and must create an enriching learning environment for students. All applications are judged blindly by the cooperative’s Foundation Trustees and are automatically disqualified if any reference is made to a specific teacher or school.
Bright Ideas grants are funded through the generous donations of Carroll EMC Members who participate in Operation Round Up®, a program where they elect to “round-up” their electric bills to the nearest dollar. The program is governed by the cooperative’s Foundation Trustees and funds a variety of community service projects including Bright Ideas, Impact Grants, student scholarships, and many health and human services programs.
Thank you to Carroll EMC, its Foundation, Directors, Trustees, Employees and Members! Your support helps us positively change lives!
