Here you will find a list of tools and computer programs that can help you efficiently run your PTA.
Officer Email & E-Document Storage
Setting your group up with Google for Nonprofits email addresses will radically change the way your group does business! Just $12 for your domain name allows you to: create as many email address as you need (e.g. President@ABCSchoolPTA.org), centrally manage all of the email addresses, receive Google tech support, set-up a google dive to share flyers, documents and meeting materials with your whole board, create forms to survey your community and more. At the end of the year, your president/administrator can reset email passwords so new officers can access contacts and files, as well as automatically receive information from outside organizations or businesses with whom you work. As best practice, please remember to have administration rights shared by at least two Officers.
If your PTA has PresidentABCschoolPTA@gmail.com accounts that you have been using for years, the Admin console will allow you to set up an import of all contacts, files and emails - so you can access the full suite of benefits Google offers for nonprofits.
Google uses Techsoup to validate that you are a non-profit. You will need your EIN number and a copy of your 501c3 letter.
