School Program Support
KEYTA is pleased to work with our members and school staff in sponsoring different academic and sports programs in school districts throughout Pennsylvania. We also realize that this is a great way to not only support your students in their extracurriculars but will also assist us in having a more visible presence in the districts where our members teach and may help perpetuate the future growth of our organization.
Please forward to us for consideration sponsorship opportunities in your schools that you may be aware of. It is not a requirement that you personally be participating in the program. We have been proud to sponsor academic, sports and musical programs alike. However, since these expenditures come out of our marketing budget, acceptable sponsorships must contain some type of printed acknowledgment such as signage or inclusion in a program.
Sponsorship opportunities should be directed to info@keyta.org or mailed to KEYTA, PO Box 548, Camp Hill, PA 17001
Classroom Grants
KEYTA receives grant funds from outside sources and currently utilizes Donors Choose in issuing these non-dues generated grants to support Pennsylvania classroom projects and supply needs. While these grants are competitive, KEYTA members do receive funding preference. Certain restrictions apply.
*Donors Choose is a website where teachers can post requests for classroom resources. They vet each request, purchase the items, and ship materials directly to the school, which ensures that the supplies and materials are going directly into the classroom. KEYTA staff also ensure the active employment of each teacher before a donation is made.
