Generous donations allow IM PTSA the ability to provide yearly individual All Staff Grants and vote on applications for larger All School Grants. These grants help aid our IMS staff with the ability to purchase additional resources to enhance the learning experience.  We have also been able to approve many All-School Grant requests to support school incentives, science classroom needs, and much more. 

All Staff Grants 

Please follow these guidelines before applying for a Staff Grant.  

1. Any staff member who requests an individual reimbursement grant MUST be a member of the IM PTSA.
2. All staff grant reimbursements will be accepted from the first day of school until APRIL 1 of any school year. Make sure you include your receipt(s).
3. Bundling of staff grants is allowed on a case by case basis. If your department requires a larger amount than the total of your department "bundling" their individual grants, please apply for an All School Grant (see below).
4. Requests larger than an individual’s allotment (currently $125) should be requested as an All-School grant.

Please follow these guidelines for All School Grants:

1. Larger than individual All Staff Grants, All School Grants strive to support all students and can be requested by any staff (member of IMPTSA) or general member of the IMPTSA.
2. Fully complete the application form.
3. Please have school administration (Principal of IMS) read and sign the grant request prior to submission.
4. The IM PTSA BOD will review any submitted All School Grant requests following a *rubric for selection to be voted on at the next General Membership meeting following the submission no less than one calendar month from the original submission date.
5. The IM PTSA Board will the grant request and the IM PTSA President may follow up with any BOD questions. 
6. The grant will then be presented for a vote at a PTSA General Membership meeting.  The PTSA president will notify you via email afterward if the grant is approved. 
7. The PTSA Treasurer will provide a check to the appropriate party upon presentation of an invoice. 
8. It is advisable that staff reach out to supportive community organizations such as Issaquah Schools Foundation as well as IM PTSA.
