Skyline High PTSA Grant Request 2023-2024

The Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) of Skyline High School in Oakland offers grants to those Skyline High School teachers and staff whose grant applications meet the stated criteria. Grants are awarded at the discretion of the members of the PTSA Board and Association. Some grants may be better suited as Program Grants (we will contact you if your grant does not meet the criteria).

PURPOSE OF SKYLINE GRANT PROGRAM:  

The purpose of the Grant Program is to support and enhance the learning experience, improve climate, and build a sense of community at Skyline High School.  The grant program will provide financial assistance to those educational experiences that support the Skyline mission and goals to provide all students with a supportive environment and rigorous curriculum through which they develop their academic skills, creative talents and civic values.  


Average mini-grants will be for $500.   There should be a justification for the cost of the mini-grant and can go higher with proper justification. Make sure you consider shipping and taxes for purchases. 

Funding Guidelines:  

  • PTSA funds should benefit the largest possible number of students within the scope of the proposed grant.  

  • Professional development, technology hardware expenses, and classroom parties or celebrations are not eligible.

  • Each proposed project must have an explicit education or enrichment focus.

  • Grants cannot include staff salaries or wages.

  • Expenses that would otherwise be funded by OUSD are not eligible for Mini Grant funding; mini-grants should not be used to free up district dollars for other purposes.

  • Funding will be distributed in one of two ways: 1) reimbursements for approved expenses and/or 2) Purchases made directly by PTSA at the request of the staff member.

  • You must be a PTSA member. Join at https://jointotem.com/ca/oakland/skyline-high-ptsa.
