Grants

January 2024 Update: 
Thanks to our wonderful MP educators and parents, the MPPTSA approved $2,814 in grants at its January 17, 2024 meeting.  These funds will support a number of exciting projects and experiences for our Cheetahs!  

We still have a remaining grants budget of $1,886 for the 2023-2024 school year, and we would love to support more enrichment for our students this year!  Any member of the Meridian Park community may submit a grant request.  Applications will be considered on a rolling basis as they are received.  If you have any questions, please reach out to mpptsagrants@gmail.com

Applications for the MPPTSA Grant Program (updated) 

MPPTSA offers the Meridian Park Elementary community an opportunity to receive one-time funding to support enrichment and academic program enhancements. The goal of the MPPTSA grant program is to support teachers, staff, and other PTSA members to bring their ideas, vision, and passions to our students by funding supplies, equipment, and projects that provide unique learning experiences that are not currently supported by other funding sources.
