PTA Texas Congress
Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
The Sem Elementary Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Organization's Primary should be exempt because it operates exclusively as a nonprofit entity focused on supporting educational development and student enrichment at Sem Elementary School. As a volunteer-driven organization, the PTA promotes collaboration between parents, teachers, and school staff to enhance the learning environment through fundraising, community-building events, and academic support initiatives. All funds raised are used directly for the benefit of students, classrooms, and school programs, with no profit motive or private gain involved. Because its mission aligns with public educational purposes and charitable objectives, and it does not engage in commercial activities, the organization qualifies for exemption under applicable nonprofit and educational institution guidelines. Community also being one of our key focuses.

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.
