What is a capital campaign? A capital campaign is a nonprofit fundraising campaign with the goal of raising a large amount of money for a specific purpose within a predetermined time frame.
Why are capital campaigns important? Capital campaigns are vital to nonprofits because they provide the revenue to fund annual operating expenses and important projects.
Why should I give to the CHMS PTO Capital Campaign? CHMS PTO fills the gap between what the school system provides for our school and what the school actually needs to excel at a higher level. Capital Campaign funds will be used for: Technology Needs, Staff Training Benevolence, Beautification, Science Materials, Teacher Appreciation School Wide Events, Hospitality, and Special Projects.
Why does the PTO choose to do a capital campaign as its primary fundraiser? It is fiscally beneficial to have a direct giving campaign where 100% of the proceeds will be utilized by the school as opposed to paying a fundraising company 25-40% of the profits.
Who benefits from my gift to the PTO? Your Child! Every student and faculty member of the school will benefit from the money raised through the Capital Campaign.
How do I make a gift to the Capital Campaign? Donations can be made online at www.pay4schoolstuff.com or by cash or check sent to school with your student. Please make checks payable to CHMS PTO. The PTO Annual Capital Campaign is a very special opportunity for the Cavalier families to come together to make a significant impact on Community House Middle School. It’s a direct-giving campaign and main source of funding for the Community House Middle School’s PTO. All of the money raised goes directly to our school. No gift is too small. Every donation helps to support all teachers and students. With the support of our families, we aim to reach our goal every school year. Please consider giving a 100% tax-deductible contribution to invest in your child’s education. Don’t forget – ask your company about their matching gift program to double your donation! Together we are stronger!
