The Bright Ideas education grant program started at Brunswick Electric in 1994 when an employee recognized a need for additional funding in the classroom after she saw a teacher purchasing school supplies.
Bright Ideas Education Grants make creative classroom projects possible.
Soon after, the grant program was adopted by 26 electric cooperatives across the state of North Carolina. Since inception, Bright Ideas has funded 11,000 innovative, classroom-based projects across the state and touched the lives of more than 2.2 million students.
