Extra Round of EZ Grants Now Open

4/19/2024 11:03 am

The Twain PTSA EZ Grant Committee has added an additional round of grant openings! Applicants are invited to apply online NOW through May 3rd. Click here for information and the online form.

What is an EZ Grant? An EZ Grant request can be for a project, program or items that would be paid from PTSA funds. Grants will be awarded to support the Twain PTSA mission, as well as enhance the curriculum and dynamic learning environment of Twain Elementary. EZ Grants should have a long term impact rather than one-time events or experiences. Priority will be given to those with school-wide application.
