A week or so ago a letter from a brutally honest PTA<\/a> made the rounds on the Internet – finally giving busy parents the out they\u2019ve been looking for. In case you haven\u2019t seen it, the letter was basically giving parents the option to make a donation to the PTA that would exempt them from having to further participate throughout the year (ie: \u201cI do not want to bake, so here\u2019s the money I would have spent on cupcakes.\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Refreshing<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here at Pay4SchoolStuff.com we\u2019re all about parents volunteering and participating, but <\/span>we get it<\/span><\/i>. You\u2019re busy. You\u2019ve got kids to raise, a family to support, chores around the house, and probably a hobby or two to keep up with. At the end of the day, asking parents to donate time and hit up their co-workers for donations (the letter uses a gift wrapping sale) can be tough – and awkward. So let us be the first (okay – probably the millionth) to say that we are completely on board with this letter! This PTA knows it asks a lot through the year, is poking a bit of fun at itself and, let\u2019s be honest, might actually raise <\/span>more<\/span><\/i> money than usual.<\/span><\/p>\n

And now comes the rub – if all these parents are suddenly throwing money at the PTA (woo!) – how is that going to work? Who\u2019s handing it? Who\u2019s collecting it? Who\u2019s providing receipts for charitable donations?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about it. We\u2019re on it!<\/b><\/p>\n

With Pay4SchoolStuff.com your organization can quickly and easily set up options for parents to donate funds quickly, conveniently, and – most importantly – securely. You won\u2019t need to worry about whether or not your check has gotten into the right hands after sending it off with your six year old, because your donations can be made online, from the comfort of your own home.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can also use Pay4SchoolStuff.com to provide parents with the opportunity to sign up to volunteer at some of the events for which others are getting a guilt-free pass.<\/p>\n
