• GRANTS

    Each year, the NA Foundation provides funds to teachers and staff for projects that make a broad, positive impact across our schools and classrooms. There are two submission periods, one in the fall and one in the spring. NA staff members will be notified via email when a new application period has opened.

    The 2025 Spring Grant Application Period is open now through March 31, 2025.  To apply, CLICK HERE.  Contact the North Allegheny Foundation at nafoundation@northallegheny.org with any questions.
