Fostering the relationship between school, home and community for the success of every TCGIS student

 Requests for General Funding

The PTO will consider requests for funding from its general fund for school-related projects and supplies throughout the year, provided that the request meets our funding guidelines:

  1. The PTO allocates its funds to expenditures that align with the PTO’s mission and organizational goals.  To be considered appropriate for PTO funding, a requested item or service must advance the PTO’s mission to foster the relationship between school, home, and community for the academic success of all of our students.
  2. The PTO’s Vice-President coordinates funding requests and works with the PTO’s Treasurer to ensure that all funding awards include appropriate documentation and oversight.
  3. The PTO gives preference to funding requests that will impact as many TCGIS students, families, and faculty as possible, with consideration given to those that provide a longer-term benefit.
  4. All requests for funding will be voted on by the membership at a properly convened meeting of the PTO. 
To submit a request, complete a Funding Request form and give it to the PTO Vice President (currently Gina Vader).
