Overview
Mission
The primary exempt purpose of our organization is to promote an enriched academic and social environment for all children, staff, and individuals within the Brier Elementary community. We are committed to ensuring that education is accessible to all children within the community, regardless of their background, socioeconomic status, or abilities. We strive to prepare students for future educational opportunities and responsible citizenship, ensuring that all children have access to the resources and support necessary for their success.
What it reported doing in 2024
Brier Elementary has about 400 students that attend the school. Our PTA promotes and supports various family engagement and student programs. We promote reading throughout the year by purchasing books for library through a regular grant we provide as well as hosting a bookfair. Throughout the year we created a sense of community by hosting movie nights, having a Family Literacy Night and offering popcorn days. Special programs also made possibly by our PTA are Art in Action, Unicycle Club, Move 55, Garden Club, performing arts opportunities, circus club, and Bobcat Cave.
Operating model

- Donor-supported. 73% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 61% for direct work, and 39% for grants.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
