Overview
Mission
PTAs mission is to make every childs potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Warder PTA is dedicated to enhancing the educational experience of all children in the community by actively supporting the school through various initiatives. One key aspect of our mission is to ensure that students have access to safe and functional playground equipment such as basketballs and soccer balls. By replacing worn-out items and providing new equipment we create a positive environment that promotes teamwork dedication and inclusivity among students. Additionally the Warder PTA allocates funds to offset the costs of educational programs thereby lessening the financial burden on both the school and families. This support enables teachers to enhance their professional development and classroom resources ultimately benefiting the overall learning experience of the students. The PTA carefully considers requests for funding through a structured process ensuring that each initiative aligns with our mission statement and will have a meaningful impact on the school community. Through our fundraising efforts and financial contributions the Warder PTA plays a vital role in fostering a sense of community and appreciation among staff volunteers and families. These investments in the well-being and development of our students and educators not only enrich the educational environment but also contribute to the mental health and overall wellness of everyone involved.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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.
