Purpose of the Grants
The Peralta District PTA grant program is designed to build and grow our PTAs, in areas of
leadership, membership, programs and Running-your-PTA. Need-based PTAs will get priority.
The total amount allocated for these grants is available in our budget document. The grants are not meant to cover organizational (PTA administration) costs.
During this term, 2022-23, we are able to allocate sizable amount towards the grant program and we hope that especially the PTAs that truly need the financial support will avail themselves of this opportunity.
Please apply for these grants proactively and reach out us for assistance with ideas on programs
and tools for running your PTA.
