PTA Program Grants ⭐

Is your PTA researching a new outreach program or looking to expand on a currently successful one? Apply for our program grants!

 

Available to unit, council, and district PTAs in good standing, these annual grants are geared to support local PTAs in developing programs and projects that include a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) component in four areas of major interest to our children and school communities:

• Parent Education

• Cultural Arts

• Outreach Translation

• Healthy Lifestyles

 

Check out this short video from National PTA to learn valuable tips on how to plan and implement programs with a lens for DEI. Find more information and resources on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion here. Your PTA must be in good standing for your application to be considered.
