PTA does not sell ads or ad space!

DO NOT sell advertising for advertising sake.  PTA DOES thank sponsors and donors for supporting events and we THANK them by acknowledging them as described above in websites, social media, newsletters, banners, and over PA system if at an event.

Include a statement like this wherever appropriate:

XYZ PT(S)A does not endorse any commercial entity, product or service. No endorsement of ABC Business is implied.

20,000 Membership Goal!

As one of the largest PTA membership groups in the nation, we can continue to grow our membership by simply asking families and community members to support our collective voice in support of public education excellence. 

As units, there are lots of creative ways to reach all family members, friends, distant relatives, businesses, etc. We trust you’ll come up with some fun incentives and campaigns communicating the value and impact PTA has on your school. Every membership counts!

Ready, Set, Remit! California PTA (CAPTA) encourages membership amongst its schools by having Challenges throughout the year. The most important one is Ready, Set, Remit! Although 15 paid memberships by Dec. 1st is the minimum for a PTA to remain in good standing as a non-profit, we encourage you to get at least 30 memberships remitted to Council by the first President’s meeting on September 14th.
