Overview

Mission

Support Tanglewood Elementary School

What it reported doing in 2025

Tanglewood PTA functions for the benefit of the students and teachers of the Tanglewood Elementary School. Tanglewood is a public school that receives limited resources from the Fort Worth Independent School District and the State of Texas. The PTA provides funds for computers, academics, teacher supplements, and school supplies and activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
