Fundraising
When schools experience budget shortfalls, they must find creative ways to make ends meet. School principals must marshal all their resources to help fund their schools. Fortunately, they can turn to parents to help them raise funds and encourage voters to pass budget referenda to help fund education for their children.
For the novice—and even for the experienced PTA member—fundraising can be a complicated enterprise. To get through this sometimes-difficult terrain, PTAs and school administrators need guidance they can trust. Whether you’re looking for tips on choosing a vendor, garnering corporate support, or managing the fundraising proceeds, National PTA will provide you with expert advice on how to conduct effective fundraisers.
