Wake PTA Council Grants
Wake PTA Council is committed to promoting equity within and among Wake County PTAs. We have committed a significant portion of our budget to assisting these units. Please complete this form and submit supporting documentation to be considered for a grant.
We still have money to share! Please complete our Grant Request by Thursday, January 30. You can apply for a grant in one of these categories:
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Family Engagement
How Your PTA Can Help Other Units: Donate to Our Grants Program
One of our goals for the 2024-25 school year is to create more equity between PTA units in Wake County. We have some units with little to no funding, and other units with generous funds.
If your PTA is interested in helping a struggling PTA with family engagement events or DEI work, consider donating to the Wake County PTA Council’s grant program. This is another great way to help all our students in the community. If you are interested, contact our Treasurer Elizabeth Skibbe at treasurer@wakepta.org.
When applying, please note the following:
Your PTA unit must be in compliance to receive a grant.
You will need to provide a copy of your approved PTA budget for the 2024-25 school year.
No more than 50% of the grant can be used to provide funding for snacks/food/beverages for a PTA event.
Units will need to purchase items and request reimbursement from Wake PTA. Checks will be written to PTAs, not individuals.
Your unit will need to provide a summary explaining how the funds were used and any measurable results. We want to share your great work with other units in the county!
