Overview

Mission

The South Shore K-8 PTSA's primary exempt purpose is to support the educational success, well-being, and development of all students at South Shore K-8 by fostering strong family engagement, advocating for student needs, and strengthening the connection between families, educators, and the school community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Fundraising & Grants Totals - The Fundraising & Grants section brought in $65,764.30 and spent $7,955.84, leaving a net balance of $57,808.46 to support PTSA programs. Most income came from SESSFA, the PE Equipment Grant, and the King County Swim Grant, with smaller contributions from PE Children's and general fundraising. Spending so far has mainly supported PE and swim program needs, while SESSFA had only minimal associated fees. Several designated items, such as the SDOT Safe Routes grant and the Mr. Booker fundraiser, had no activity this period.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
