Lumbee River is sincerely dedicated to improving the quality of life in the communities we serve. That's why each year through the Bright Ideas Program, the co-op awards approximately $22,000 to teachers to help bring creative and innovative projects into their classroom.

Co-sponsored by the N.C. Association of Electric Cooperatives, the grants are available to teachers in area schools for projects that traditional school money does not cover. All of North Carolina's 27 electric cooperatives participate in the program and to date, more than $6.5 million has been awarded to teachers throughout the state.
