The Issaquah High PTSA’s mission is to expand educational opportunities and enhance the learning and social environment at IHS through programs, volunteers, advocacy, and financial support.

Grant Criteria

IH PTSA will consider any item, program, or activity that supports our mission. Grant applications may be submitted by teachers, staff, students, or parents. The Grants Committee will review applications meeting the following minimum criteria:

● Does it foster student learning?
● Will it have a long-term impact?
● Does it strengthen our school community?
● Does it reach a large number of students? And/or target an underserved population?
● Is the PTSA Grant the most appropriate funding source?

Please note: IH PTSA focuses on academics, classroom support, and social-emotional enhancements while Boosters focuses on extra-curricular enrichment and clubs. Also, consider department and building funds and the Issaquah Schools Foundation. IH PTSA will not fund transportation, salaries, or previous expenditures. Preference may be given to those people or departments that have not received grants recently. Request one-time only expenditure, not repeat or annual funding needs.

Application Process

1. Complete and submit your Grant Application by the due date.
