Disaster Relief
National PTA has established a Disaster Relief Fund to provide financial assistance to local PTA units and other school communities that face significant natural or man-made crises that grievously disrupt school or the education system in a region or community.
Local PTAs impacted by Hurricane Helene or another natural disaster may apply for $500 awarded funds to improve the welfare of children in their community. Funds are competitively awarded, and are not intended to supplant other relief support efforts.
The Disaster Relief Fund is dependent on donations from individuals in the National PTA community of supporters. PTA Local Units and school communities selected for Disaster Relief Funds may be featured on the National PTA homepage and other communication channels following the award to raise awareness of the crisis, and to encourage continued support of the Disaster Relief Fund. Monies raised through such efforts will be added to the Disaster Relief Fund to replenish the Fund and ensure its sustainability.
