Leadership Development Grants
Purpose
The Leadership Development Grant is designed to strengthen leadership skills and grow leadership capacity on unit, council and district PTA boards.
Each year, California State PTA funds a grant program for local PTA leaders to encourage their engagement in the California State PTA convention. This grant is available to facilitate a PTA member's:
- First time attendance at the California State PTA Convention
Or - Continuing leadership development at the California State PTA Convention
Selection

As part of the grant program's criteria, PTA members who receive a grant to attend convention complete and submit a Grant Report to the district PTA by May 15 that includes:
- Written report describing:
- How they benefitted from convention?
- What skills they obtained?
- How their convention training will strengthen PTA involvement?
- Receipts and detailed list of convention expenses

A final report from a district PTA on the distribution of its Leadership Development Grant funds is due by June 1 to California State PTA.
