There are four levels of Strategic Alliances available to support the programs and services of the NYS PTA. We will limit the total number of Strategic Alliances to maximize the benefits for each partner. Strategic Alliances are available on a first come, first serve basis, and normally operate within one school year.

Many of our partners offer Programs and other Member Benefits!

All Alliance levels include one Empire State PTSA (ESPTSA) Membership, a statewide NYS PTA unit formed in 1979 for those who may no longer be associated with their local school, or who do not have a PTA in their school or community and are advocates for children and youth. Members already belonging to local PTA units may also join the ESPTSA as a way of showing their support for the association as a whole.

Alliance Levels Options:

  • Presidential Alliance ($10,000+ annually)
  • Diamond Alliance ($5,000 annually)
  • Gold Alliance ($3,500 annually)
