It's your time to shine!
The Bright Ideas program supports innovative and effective classroom education curricula that cannot be covered by traditional school financing. Both individual teachers and groups of teachers can now apply for grants up to $1,500.
Teachers in public and private schools, K-12 in Berkeley Electric Cooperative’s service area are eligible to participate. Grants are awarded for projects in any discipline and are intended to help teachers within Berkeley Electric Cooperative’s service area produce a better-educated workforce. The grants are designed to help teachers introduce innovative teaching methods.
Grants are awarded annually in a competitive evaluation process. Applications are now accepted from January to March.
Congratulations to our 2026 Grant Winners
