About PTF Grants
The Blanchard PTF offers an opportunity to obtain funds for projects that enrich the learning environment for the Blanchard School community. These funds will be awarded as PTF grants in response to written proposals. Proposals may be submitted for any educational purpose, such as enrichment activities in the classrooms, special equipment or supplies not funded by the school operating budget, or professional development. Of particular interest are projects with potential long-term impact, projects that will benefit a large number of students, and inter-classroom, interdisciplinary, and multi-teacher projects.
2011-2012 Grant Application Deadlines
Eight copies of grants must be placed in the PTF mailbox in the school office by 3 PM on the deadline in order to be considered for that cycle:
- 10/20/2011 -- Cycle One -- Closed

PTF Grants Application Process
Grant applications are welcome from teachers, parents, and all members of the community. When writing your grant request, please submit the application and follow the checklist.
