About Professional Performing Arts School Parent Teacher Association Inc
The Professional Performing Arts School Parent Teacher Association (PPAS PTA) is the incorporated PTA supporting the Professional Performing Arts School (PPAS) in Manhattan. The PTA organizes fundraising, volunteer engagement, and governance participation to expand student access to high-quality performing-arts instruction and production resources. The PTA operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that runs an annual fund and events (including an annual gala), manages targeted grants to the school’s majors and arts partners, and serves on the School Leadership Team to advise school decision-making. In recent years the PTA has scaled fundraising and program support to increase production values and provide direct grants to departments across the school.
Notable achievements
Significant fundraising growth and direct program grants
The PTA’s financial support has grown materially in recent fiscal years (from under $100k in earlier years to over $300k in the most recent fiscal reporting), enabling large, targeted grants to student majors. In one recent distribution the PTA allocated more than $80,000 across dance, drama, film, musical theater, vocal, and middle-school theatrical arts to improve production value and student opportunities.
Established annual fund and flagship gala
The PTA operates the 'Reach for the Stars' annual fund and a Gala that serve as primary fundraising vehicles, producing sustained support for professional-level arts programming, artist-in-residence engagements, and production costs.
Formal governance, committees, and school partnership
The organization maintains formal bylaws, a standing Executive Board and committees (Fundraising & Grants, Celebration of the Arts, etc.), and regular membership and leadership meetings. PTA leaders serve on the school’s School Leadership Team and collaborate with school administration and elected officials on grants and program priorities.
