Funding
Funding
Our organization is fully funded by generous donations. In addition to financial contributions, we greatly benefit from in-kind donations and the invaluable time our volunteers dedicate. As we continue to grow and when appropriate, we'll also explore other funding avenues, including grants.
Expenditures
Expenditures
Our organization has two main categories of expenditures: programming and overhead. Programming expenditures are those incurred in connection with a specific PTO sponsored event or activity. For more information on PTO programming click here. Overhead expenditures include management and fundraising expenses, such as the cost to host this website and payment processing costs for donations.
Both programming and overhead expenditures help our PTO to fulfill its mission. However, we strive to minimize overhead expenditures. For example, we seek out special rates for non-profit organizations whenever possible. We evaluate all overhead expenditures by weighing their impact on fundraising and programming. All members of the PTO, including those who serve on the Board, are strictly volunteers and receive no compensation.
