Bright Ideas
The Palmetto Electric Trust and Palmetto Electric Cooperative
offers Bright Ideas, a grant program that provides funding for innovative classroom-based
education projects. Since 2004, Palmetto Electric Trust and Palmetto Electric Cooperative have awarded 327 Bright Ideas grants in Hampton, Jasper and southern Beaufort counties totaling almost $258,611.
The grants are intended to fund projects outside normal public school funding. Teachers in grades K–12 from schools in our three-county service area can apply. A school may submit more than one application, but a teacher is limited to one application per school year. September 6 is the deadline to apply.
The Bright Ideas grants are for local school teachers in grades K-12. The grants give teachers money to put innovative classroom projects into action.
Palmetto Electric Trust is supported by funds from Operation Round Up®, a program in which the Cooperative's members round their electric bill up to the nearest whole dollar. The program is a true example of how small change…changes lives. Additional funding is provided by Palmetto Electric's Million Dollar Hole-In-One Shootout and WIRE (Women Involved in Rural Electrification).
Palmetto Electric Cooperative, a member of Touchstone Energy®, is a not-for-profit, consumer-owned power cooperative providing electricity to over 67,000 consumers in southern Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton counties.
