PTA Fundraising
With the school year fast approaching many PTA units will soon be planning various fundraisers. Please keep in mind the guidelines suggested by the National PTA when
selecting your projects.
-
Do not engage in substantial business activities that are unrelated to our tax-exempt purposes, which are educational and charitable.
-
Do not endorse products, companies or foundations.
-
Do not sell or lend mailing lists.
-
PTAs may accept and acknowledge contributions of sponsors of PTA programs.
-
PTAs may accept advertising as long as it stays within postal regulations and does not jeopardize the objects and nonprofit status of the PTA.
-
Units should familiarize themselves with local, state and federal laws and requirements regarding licensing and liability before sponsoring or conducting public events.
Remember to use the PTA's 3 to 1 rule. For every fund-raising activity, plan at least 3 non-fund raising projects.
