Each year, PCMS PTSA awards grant money to teachers and staff curriculum enrichment and student educational support. The PTSA holds two grant cycles per year, typically approving requests in the fall and spring.

Grants are made possible through generous family donations, and our annual “Pass the Hat” fundraiser. Thank you to all who donate to support our enthusiastic teachers and staff and to benefit our students' learning experience while at PCMS.

How to apply for grants? Complete the GRANT APPLICATION FORM, obtain appropriate signatures within department and school, then forward completed document to PCMS PTSA Grants Chair, Laura Gaffney. Grant requests are open to everyone within our PCMS community.

How are grants selected? The Grant Committee reviews applications, evaluating on multiple criteria, including specificity, merit, impact, costs, and need. With due diligence, the Grant Committee and Chair provide a detailed summary of all applications, making recommendations to the PTSA Board of Directors who then vote on the recommendations. The approved grant information is then shared at the next General Membership Meeting. 

For more information, questions, submissions, contact PCMS PTSA Grants Chair, Laura Gaffney.
