The Massachusetts Child

Did you know that every MTA preK-12 local is eligible to receive $750 or more each school year to help students succeed?

It's true. Since 1996, The Massachusetts Child has been providing grants to preK-12 locals to cover the costs of a wide range of items and services, including school supplies, educational field trips, medical needs and clothing. The Mass Child, a charitable corporation established by the MTA, NOW gives grants of $750 or more, depending on the size of your association, to help students in need.

The grant program is open to all preK-12 MTA locals. Locals with 500 or fewer members may receive up to $750 per school year. Locals with more than 500 members are  eligible to receive more – up to $1.50 for each member.
