Overview

Mission

The Pac Rim PTA supports Pacific Rim Elementary students by funding programs, technology, and materials not covered by the school budget, including art, STEAM, credentialed assistants, and PE, and by hosting community-building events.

What it reported doing in 2024

To support the staff and increase home/community involvement

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
