Natural Disaster Relief Fund

In its desire to help PTAs that have suffered economic hardship due to a natural disaster, Texas PTA established the Texas PTA Natural Disaster Relief Fund. This fund is used to provide assistance grants for Local and Council PTAs in Texas that are recovering from the effects of a recent natural disaster. Financial aid is provided only to PTAs as prescribed in these procedures and dependent on the needs reflected on the Texas PTA Natural Disaster Relief Grant Application.

Texas Clean School Bus Grant

Texas PTA has partnered for several years with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and with the Railroad Commission of Texas, the state’s chief energy agency, to improve air quality for Texas youth by directing state and federal funds to school districts to retrofit older diesel school bus engines and to help districts purchase alternative fuel buses.

We have private groups so you can easily ask your peers, or support your peers who are inthe same role. We have a lot of veteran PTA members who can be a great resource.
