Mary Lou Anderson Arts Enhancement Grant Program
Description
A limited number of matching grants of up to $1,000 are awarded each year to local PTAs for student-centered programs focused on arts education. Special consideration is given to programs that reach large numbers of students, especially students who are at risk. At risk is the term applied to children whose environmental, familial, and/or socioeconomic situation may affect their academic success or ability to learn.
The grant program complements National PTA's longstanding commitment to quality arts education in public schools by providing funds to local PTAs to establish or enhance a school arts program in one or more of the following arts areas: visual arts, photography, musical composition, and literature. Local PTAs must match the amount they are requesting from National PTA.
Program Objectives
To enhance arts education in the classroom or other learning environments through activities; materials; introduction of new technologies, techniques or methods; visiting artists; or programs.
Requirements
To be considered for the grant, interested applicants must submit the following:
- Completed application form
- Responses to the Selection Criteria listed on the application
- A letter of commitment with the president's original signature stating the amount and source of matching funds from the local PTA.
Restrictions
Grant money will be given to a local PTA for the management and implementation of a program such as a visiting artist program.
Grant money and matching funds may not be used for any overhead costs. Overhead costs refer to the cost of doing business (e.g., rental of space, teacher salaries, utilities, etc.). Funds may not be used for capital improvements, construction, or for the purchase of permanent equipment. Funds may support the purchase of software.
Selection of Grant Recipients
A panel of judges from National PTA's Board of Directors will determine the grant recipients.
Check the National PTA website for deadlines and to apply for
the Mary Lou Anderson Grant.
