Overview

Mission

The minnewashta elementary pto was established to serve the students, teachers and surrounding community of the minnewashta elementary school by enriching the programs for grades k-5 through financial support of the arts, music, library and special education programs.

What it reported doing in 2024

Classroom enrichment: the organization contributed to numerous classroom programs benefiting all k-5 grade levels of the minnewashta elementary school. These contributions include financial support for field trips along with support for art, music, special education and physical education programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 89% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - 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.
