Overview

Mission

Our PTA was formed to provide Lanes Mill Elementary school with additional resources. We strive to give back to our school and underprivileged students.

What it reported doing in 2025

In the past two years enough money was collected to fund significant playground improvements. We have been able to fund programs and assemblies at the school for student enrichment and we continue to help fund 5th grade activities and celebrations. We fund staff appreciation week. We also give $500 to two high school students as part of our alumni awards.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 61% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
