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.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $42,979 spent. Planned and held educational programs for students, parents, and teachers on STEM and natural world topics. We also planned a family movie night program at the beginning of the school year and a end of year foam party to give families opportunities to meet and mingle with other families and school personnel in an informal setting. These programs reached an audience of about 400 members and non-members within the community over the course of the school year.
  2. Through a successful carnival fundraising effort, the PTA was able to contribute to the school through its Special Purchases Committee to provide funds for art supplies, PE Equipment, white boards for classrooms, and music equipment. This effort will benefit all students and staff (over 800 students).
  3. Coordinated with teachers and school administration to facilitate the creation of school supply packets that parents of students could purchase to ensure their students had the supplies they needed delivered to their classrooms on the first day of school. Packets also included materials for use by teachers for the benefit of the entire class such as hand sanitizers and tissues (approximately 40 classrooms). This service was available to all families at the school regardless of PTA membership (approximately 850 students and families). The PTA also worked with the school counselor to obtain a few extra packs for each grade level that could be provided to at-risk students.
