What it says it does
The Grant D. Morse PTA helps build a sense of community among parents, teachers, and the 300+ students, many of whom live beneath the poverty line. We organize community events, family-oriented activities, and collaborative projects that bring people together. This sense of community fosters a supportive network, promotes school spirit, and strengthens the overall school culture.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $10,116 spent. Shop Local Gift Card Fundraiser- This is a fundraiser for the PTA and also a way to support community businesses. The businesses support the PTA by donating a set amount back per gift card, and the businesses are supported through the purchase of gift cards by community members, parents, teachers and staff, to be used at a later date.
- $9,283 spent. Scholastic Book Fairs- Every year the Grant D. Morse PTA hosts 2 book fairs; expenses are related to what is brought in by the book fair and later pay the invoice to Scholastic. During the book fairs, all students receive at least one book, regardless of their financial ability to purchase a book. The PTA will use credits from Scholastic earned by previous book fairs to purchase books for students in need, and for teachers as a donation.
- $22 spent. Yearbook- The Grant D. Morse PTA puts together an annual yearbook for the school; the payments are made to the PTA who then pays the supplier. Yearbooks are supplied to students who are unable to purchase them, as needed.
