Frequently Asked Questions

 

  1. What do Brent PTA funds pay for?  Nearly 100% of Brent's non-personnel operating costs!  That includes building and grounds maintenance, teacher development, technology and school supplies, community engagement events, social-emotional support programs for the children, and more.  
  2. How much should I give?  While we hope that 100% of Brent households participate in the Annual Fund, every family should decide for itself what amount is right.  In the past, donations have ranged from $25 to $2,500+.  If your family is in a position to give more generously this year, we hope you'll think about how much you value being a part of the Brent community - a diverse, high quality public school in the heart of Capitol Hill, educating children from across Washington D.C.  As a data point, the Brent PTA spends over $500 per student per year.  Please remember that every donation - no matter how big or small - helps us reach our goals and shows your support for the Brent community.
  3. How should I donate to the 2022 Annual Fund?  This year we are running the campaign on the GiveSmart platform, which is the same platform used for the Spring Gala auction in past years.  While electronic payments require transaction fees, they are safer and more efficient for a volunteer organization like ours.  If you are not able to give via the GiveSmart platform, you can send or drop off a check addressed to the Brent PTA at the Brent front office.  We would prefer that you not send cash.
  4. Is my donation tax deductible?  Yes!  Those who use the GiveSmart platform will automatically receive a tax receipt to the email address provided.  The Brent PTA's Taxpayer Identification Number is 16-1713470.
  5. My company provides matching donations.  Do you support matching donations?  Yes!  Matching donations programs are a fantastic way for you to increase your giving.  Please let us know if you need any support for this.  If you don't know if your company provides matching donations, please check this website:  https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=1799
