Once again, we are reaching out to you for our annual Direct Donation Campaign. If you are new to our school, this is the primary way our PTO raises funds for the year. Many schools sell items or have carnival type events, but the feedback from our community has shown that people prefer to simply give directly to the PTO in the form of a charitable donation.
In order to fully fund this, our goal is to raise $6,000. This means asking our families to contribute $25 per child. We understand that not everyone is able to contribute that much and welcome any contribution you feel you can make. We also cannot express how grateful we are to those of you who choose to be more generous, year after year. Remember that the PTO is a not-for-profit charitable 501(c)(3) organization, so direct donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed under federal tax law.
We strive to make sure that the funds the PTO raises go toward supporting our teachers and students in the best ways possible. Check our website for updates on what we are doing. We also recognize that over time our needs change, so we are always open to new suggestions and ideas for how we can invest in our school.
Please complete the form and send it with your donation in an envelope marked “Direct Donation” . Return the envelope to school with your child via “Backpack Express.” Checks should be made payable to Broadus Wood PTO. If you would like to send funds via PayPal, choose the option "Send money to Friends and Family" and enter the email address "treasurer@bwpto.org". Please be sure to put your child's name, teacher, and the donor receipt information (name and address) so that we may send the tax receipt. Our campaign will run through mid-April. The Broadus Wood PTO greatly appreciates your efforts and support!
