Endhaven Elementary PTA Cougar Grant Guidelines

The Endhaven PTA has allocated specific funds in our operating budget to support students and staff by meeting the needs of students, teachers, and staff. These funds are allocated in the form Cougar Grants. It funds unique or innovative programs or resources; collaborations between teachers; instructional material; teacher professional development; and more. It does not fund items already in the school budget.

There are three focuses of Cougar Grants. 

  1. Arts & Enrichment: This grant is offered to Endhaven Staff, PTA, and school clubs to promote enrichment and educational opportunities which are not part of the normal school program. The grant specifically addresses needs such as in-house field trips, guest speakers on an educational topic, special projects, academic competitions, etc.
  2. School Programs: This grant is available to children who are unable to participate in enrichment programs due to financial hardship. Programs could include assisting with the cost of field trips, enabling a child to participate in a before/after school program, etc.
  3. Professional Development: This grant is to encourage Endhaven staff to participate in professional development opportunities. The grant may be used to cover fully or partially cost of registration fees and other expenses such as lodging or a food allowance.
