Is a PTO like a PTA?

A PTO is an independent, unaffiliated parent-teacher group. It operates at the school level without any connection to a national organization (such as the more familiar PTA), allowing it more flexibility in setting rules, raising funds that go directly to local use, and organizing activities.


We are a nonprofit (EIN 81-2942021) supporting the James Baldwin Elementary community. 

Governance Policies and Procedures

Help Our Cause

Your support and contributions will enable us to offer teacher grants, sponsor events and support scholarships for students, fund needed supplies for students through our Family Support Worker and so much more.  


If you have a PayPal account, you may also donate through our PayPal Giving Fund, which does not charge any processing fees. The collected funds are sent to James Baldwin Elementary PTO once a month. You can also drop off cash or checks (made out to James Baldwin Elementary PTO) at school. We encourage you to verify if your donations are eligible for any employer-matching programs. 


** We are tax exempt non-profit organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our EIN # is 81-2942021. All your donations are tax deductible.
