Bright Ideas Grants

Bright Ideas

Carroll EMC awards Bright Ideas grants to local teachers to fund innovative and creative educational projects for their students. Grants of up to $1,000 are presented to public school educators, teaching grades pre-K through 12, for classroom-based projects in a variety of subjects.

Bright Ideas grants are funded through the donations of Carroll EMC Members who participate in the Cooperative’s Operation Round Up program. Since 2007, local teachers have received grants totaling nearly $682,000 to enhance the learning of students in Carroll EMC’s seven-county service area.

Applicants must complete an online application. Individual teachers may submit one application per school year. Members of the Foundation Board of Trustees review the applications and select the winners. Grant recipients are announced in December.

 

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Carroll EMC Foundation Board has suspended Bright Ideas Grants for 2020. The decision was made with special consideration towards 2019 grant winners whose school year was cut short due to COVID-19. We hope as this school year begins, the teachers will be able to use their well-earned grants to foster growth and education in this new year.
