Parents Reaching Out Grants

Parents play a vital role in publicly funded education. Ontario's Parents Reaching Out grants are designed to encourage parents' involvement in their children's education and to support student learning at the school, regional and provincial levels.

There are two types of grants:

• School councils (only) can apply for Parents Reaching Out Grants for Schools
• Parent organizations, school boards, non-profit organizations and post-secondary institutions can apply for Parents Reaching Out Grants for Regional/Provincial Projects.

The application period is now open for the 2009-10 Parents Reaching Out grants. The deadline is October 16 2009.
