TIPS FOR WRITING PTA TEACHER GRANT PROPOSALS

 

CONSIDERATIONS WHEN WRITING AND AWARDING GRANTS:

 

1.      The teacher submitting the proposal must be a current member of the Pine Tree Middle School PTA (Please contact Sheila McNaney for questions.  Contact information is in the school office.)

 

2.      The total amount available for the 2006-2007 school year is $8,500. 

 

3.      We usually do not consider anything over $1,000 for an individual teacher.   

 

4.      The PTA may partially fund proposals and encourage proposals broken down     in stages with the appropriate amounts. 

 

5.      The PTA may locate funds to fulfill your grant through other sources if possible.

 

6.      Consumable items and field trips are rarely granted.

 

7.      Grants must include :

 

·        the length of time materials can be used

·        whether the materials can be shared with other teachers or classrooms.

·        how many students will be served.

 

8.           PTA prefers materials be bar coded in the library and checked out for use,

     if possible.

 

NOTE:  Vickie Echols, Pine Tree ISD Grant Writer, has offered to assist any teacher in their grant proposal.  Please feel free to either call her or email her at:
