This study aims to analyze the role of the Indonesian Teachers Association (PGRI) DKI Jakarta in teacher legal protection and the management of grant funds for private school teachers in 2018. The study employed the historical method with a structuralist approach and a qualitative historical research design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and the examination of organizational archives, government documents, and relevant regulations. Data analysis followed the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings reveal that PGRI DKI Jakarta possessed an organizational structure that effectively supported the implementation of legal protection programs and grant fund management. In the area of teacher legal protection, PGRI functioned as an advocacy organization through institutional collaboration with the Indonesian National Police to strengthen legal certainty for teachers. In grant fund management, PGRI played an important role in socialization, data collection, validation, verification, and coordination of grant distribution. Despite several administrative challenges, the grant program contributed positively to teacher welfare and work motivation. The study concludes that PGRI DKI Jakarta performed a dual role as a professional organization and a social agent contributing to teacher legal protection and welfare enhancement.
