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]

Every year, National PTA hosts the annual Reflections Theme Search Contest to select one student theme to inspire student artists as they participate in the national Reflections program. Themes are selected two years in advance. It’s easy to participate! Check out the resources listed below. Units may submit entries to Missouri PTA by email to reflections@mopta.org by November 15, 2022.
Each state may select only five theme entries to advance to National PTA. One winning student’s theme is selected by a team of National PTA volunteers based on originality and creativity. The winning student is awarded $100 and national recognition. Congratulations to Alice Meko, from Hampton Cove Elementary PTA in Alabama, the 2023-2024 Reflections theme will be I Am Hopeful Because…
