The 501(c)(3) of the Parent/Teacher Club, the McKinley School Foundation was formed five years ago to supplement the work of the PTA by raising money from grants and community groups to fund a music and arts program at the school. When the PTA became the Parent/Teacher Club and parent involvement increased dramatically, the foundation was folded into the work of the PTC. Because the foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, all money donated to the McKinley Foundation is tax deductible.
The Foundation will set annual fundraising targets, manage cash donations, create short and long term spending goals. Ongoing communication of the status of funds will be made by the members of the McKinley Foundation to the PTC as well as the site council.
