Our volunteers work tirelessly to help establish strong family-school partnerships in their community. They provide millions of service hours through mentoring and classroom support. PTA volunteers in Texas have raised hundreds of millions of dollars to ensure that quality programs remain strong for every generation.
These efforts are commended through recognizable awards. Whether it is the volunteer or the Council or Local PTA they represent, Texas PTA wants to congratulate everyone who is working to back the future of our children.

Natural Disaster Relief Fund
In its desire to help PTAs that have suffered economic hardship due to a natural disaster, Texas PTA established the Texas PTA Natural Disaster Relief Fund.

Financial aid is provided only to PTAs as prescribed in these procedures and dependent on the needs reflected on the Texas PTA Natural Disaster Relief Grant Application.

Texas PTA established the Texas PTA Emergency Relief Fund in 1995. This fund is used to provide emergency assistance grants for victims of hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, catastrophic illness and accidents. Financial aid is provided only to the truly needy and is consistent with the need.
