Where Innovation Meets Education
Inspire IMPACT Grants fuel teacher-led, hands-on projects that build the core skills local employers need—problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and creativity. By investing in classrooms, we invest in Cabarrus County’s workforce and community strength.
Preparing Students for Tomorrow’s Jobs
Inspire IMPACT connects classroom learning to real-world challenges. Students prototype, present, and iterate—mirroring the way modern teams work. The result is a stronger talent pipeline for healthcare, advanced manufacturing, technology, and more along the I-85 corridor.
Powering Teacher Creativity
Teachers routinely spend hundreds from their own wallets to bring learning to life. Inspire IMPACT Grants shift that burden and encourage educators to think outside the box.
Grants fund materials, equipment, and experiences that make learning stick.
From Classrooms to Community Impact
When students engage in applied learning, they gain confidence and motivation. Those gains translate into higher achievement and long-term earnings—benefits that ripple through families and local businesses. Strong schools build strong communities and a resilient local economy.
$1,000 = A Teacher’s Vision in Action
Each $1,000 grant equips one teacher to impact dozens of students with a high-quality, real-world project. Multiply that across 372 grants and the result is thousands of learners better prepared for the workforce.
