As with all other alumni boards, the bulk of our revenue will come from the financial contributions of our members and from our yearly membership dues. View a list of our donors In the past, our chapters have solicited donations directly from alumni through the use of a newsletter, and little effort was made to report how that money was being used. Part of the role of the PTAA is to coordinate the fundraising efforts of alumni and then allocate that money to items and areas that the alumni designate. For example, instead of writing a check for $300 directly to the chapter with little or no say as to how that money is being used (as was done previously). Now you will have the opportunity to select from several donation options, and will also have access to a quarterly report on how that money has been spent. |
Similar to choosing between different investment options in a 401(k), the PTAA allows its members to divide their contribution into one of 3 accounts. The links below descibes how money from each account will be used. |
Online Donations Making a donation is very easy. Just click on the make a donation link and you will be taken to a Paypal site. If you do not have a Paypal account you will be directed on the simple 1-step procedure. Paypal is one of the oldest and most respected internet providers of secure transactions. So you can have the peace of mind that your money is being delivered securely without the threat of identity theft. When making your transaction you will be provided with a comment box to add any instructions on how you would like the money to be donated. IMPORTANT: Please use the comment box to designate how you would like your contribution to be divided among our three different funds. Also note that at this time we are capping the maximum percentage into the endowment at 60% to assure that not all proceeds are placed in one account. For example you may designate your contribution as 60% endowment, 20% PTAA, and 20% Chapter Services You will receive an email from our organization shortly after you make your transaction confirming that we received it, and confirming your choices as to how it will be spent. If no instructions are given after this confirmation the board will make the decision on where to invest the funds based on immediate need. You will again be notified how this money was used.
