Bright Ideas is funded by Coweta-Fayette EMC’s Operation Round-Up. The pennies you contribute each month to Operation Round-Up, when combined with the pennies of thousands of other members, benefit those in our local community. Coweta-Fayette EMC’s Operation Round Up Foundation celebrated 30 years in 2023, and since its inception, the Foundation has distributed more than $6.1 million in assistance to those in need within our local communities.

The 2024 B.I.G. applications will become available in May 2024. For questions, contact Megan Phillips at 678-630-6680 or [email protected].
