New! Fall 2022 Programs Grants
National PTA is offering over $600K to nearly 500 PTAs!
National PTA and their generous sponsors are offering over $600,000 in funding for PTAs/PTSAs that are in good standing as defined by their state PTA and interested in implementing a fun and engaging National PTA program focused on STEM, literacy, digital citizenship, mental health, healthy lifestyles or the arts.
While funding is not needed to implement PTA Programs, it can be used as extra support in running programs or making programs more accessible to all students. The application process is easy (no prior grant-writing experience is needed) and the funding will help you reach your PTA’s goals in your school community.
The application process for available program funding will close Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 5:00 p.m. EDT. Check out available opportunities on the National PTA Website. Before completing your application, we suggest you carefully review the grant descriptions, associated program pages and rubric that will be used to score your application. [Source: National PTA]
