As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, lapta offers different avenues to help all children reach their potential by advocating for children at local, state, and national levels. We also have the local pta units who do pta work, community outreach, and more. Lapta supports those efforts through 54 grants, more than 225 awards, and dozens of programs for teachers, students, and local ptas. The innovative programs and grants focus on topics such as stem, literacy, mental health, student leadership, comprehensive arts programs, healthy earth, anti-bullying, anti-drug, sustainability, inclusion, diversity, internet safety, community outreach, and much more.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
