Each year, the Mason-Rice PTO organizes programs and fundraises to support curriculum, enrichment programs and community events at Mason-Rice. The PTO budget covers the period from September 1 to August 31 of the following year.
The PTO fundraises annually to support the cost of the programs and events. Our Dues Campaign and Donations help reduce the number of fundraisers and the goal of each fundraiser we need throughout the school year.
From time to time, a surplus may exist and the PTO Board will allocate these funds to support specific projects like technology, playground, and general operating. For more details of the PTO financials statements and budget, please go to Treasury.
All donations to the PTO are confidential and anonymous (except for the Treasurer who handles the deposits and tax receipts). The Mason-Rice PTO is a non-profit 501c3 organization.

In 2011, the PTO launched the PTO Dues Campaign. This Officers and Board will review the Dues Campaign results in October and adjust fundraisers and/or fundraiser's goals for the remainder of the school year. Participation in the Dues Campaign is always voluntary, as are all donations to the PTO.Thank you for your consideration and support.
