#GivingTuesday: Duke Energy offers $175,000 to N.C. teachers
11/28/2017
As part of
#GivingTuesday
, Duke Energy is excited to share news about a new program they are launching today in partnership with DonorsChoose.org to help schools in the Triangle and the Duke Energy Progress service area.
Duke Energy will provide $175,000 in matching grants for North Carolina teachers to foster literacy and bring engaging science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) projects to life in their classrooms.
Here is how it works: Teachers can submit K-3 literacy and K-12 STEM project proposals (for up to a total project goal of $1,000) to DonorsChoose.org, where the public can provide funding.
The Duke Energy Foundation will match all donations made toward qualifying classroom projects at public schools in eligible counties*, up to $500 per project. The project donations will be matched on a first-come, first-served basis until the $175,000 goal is reached. For example, if you donate $50 toward an eligible project, a $50 Duke Energy match will automatically be applied to the project.
Teachers can visit
DonorsChoose.org/teachers
to submit a project. Qualifying projects already posted to the site will automatically be eligible for Duke Energy’s matching funds on new donations made on or after Nov. 28.
Parents and other members of the community can help fund projects by visiting
www.DonorsChoose.org
and searching for projects by school name, teacher name and/or the "North Carolina STEM and Literacy" match filter. DonorsChoose.org will continually update
this page
with a list of all projects eligible for the Duke Energy match. All projects eligible for the Duke Energy match will display this notice:
