Eatontown Schools PTA Innovation Grants seek to provide funding for creative and innovative programs and/or materials to enhance our district’s curriculum.
Eligibility:
Teachers and staff who are paid members of the Eatontown Schools PTA
Grants may be requested for an individual classroom, a grade level, a special or the entire school.
Winter Grant Process:
Fill out the word doc form from the application (link above) and submit it to your principal for approval.
Once you receive sign off and approval from your principal, email your form to president@eatontownschoolspta.com. This must be completed by 2/10/24. Submission will reserve your spot in “the tank".
Start working on a short presentation/pitch (think Shark Tank Style) to present to a panel of PTA members. All applications who submit will get the opportunity to pitch their proposal. The “shark tank day” will be at the February PTA Meeting on 2/22/24. If you are not able to make it in person there will be an option to pitch virtually via the google meet link.

1. All recipients agree to submit the following:
a) Photos of students in action using the grant
