Mini and Maxi GrantsThe purpose of the Mini and Maxi grants is to support and enhance academic experiences for Tappan Students. Grants may be used to acquire special materials, bring resources to the classroom, or provide unique experiences related to the curriculum and over-all school experience. The budget for grants is determined yearly by the PTSO Executive Committee and approved by the full PTSO board. Award decisions are based on the Mini-Maxi Grant Committee’s discretion on how funds should be dispersed to make the most meaningful impact on the Tappan community and the amount of funding available. Priority will be given to grants that are directly aligned with the
school improvement goals that have been defined by the principals and
staff. The Mini-Maxi Grant Committee consists of the PTSO Executive Committee and the Tappan Principals. In order for a grant application to be considered the following criteria must be met:
Mini Grants (up to $500): Mini grants are designed to meet needs of individual teachers, staff and Tappan-affiliated organizations. Mini grants are approved by the PTSO Executive Committee on an ongoing basis as applications are received. Maxi Grants ($500-$2,500): Maxi grants are designed to augment facilities and/or programs that benefit a large group of students (beyond one classroom). Maxi grant requests must be published in the Thursday Thing prior to being discussed and voted upon at a PTSO meeting. Request a Grant
