The Vice President of Fundraising is responsible for the oversight, planning, and execution of all fundraising events and initiatives. This role is crucial to the PTA's financial sustainability and its ability to fund various programs, activities, and community events.
Event Planning Oversight: The VP of Fundraising supervises the planning of all fundraising events. This can include seasonal or holiday events, special one-off events, and recurring fundraisers.
Recruiting Event Chairs: At the first PTA meeting of the year, the VP of Fundraising presents the planned events and seeks volunteers to chair each event. This involves explaining the nature and requirements of each event to encourage participation.
Fundraising Approval Forms: For events where money is collected by the PTA, the VP of Fundraising is responsible for filling out fundraising forms and submitting them to the secretaries for district approval.
Flyer Approval: Any flyers associated with fundraising initiatives need the approval of the principal before they can be shared or printed. Once the principal approves the flyers, the secretary will forward them to the district for final approval.
Building Permits: Any PTA event that requires the use of school facilities during the day or evening needs a building permit. The VP of Fundraising is responsible for ensuring that these permits are obtained for each event.
The VP of Fundraising role is pivotal in ensuring the PTA has the necessary funds to support the programs and initiatives that enrich the school community. This individual must be organized, communicative, and skilled at encouraging community involvement.
