Frequently Asked Questions
I lost my “Fundraising Opportunities” email. Can I get another copy?
Yes! Any fundraising opportunities for the current school year are listed on our Fundraising Activities tab. For your convenience, you can download the attachments here. Click on whatever you need: Welcome Rep Letter, A2 PTO Thrift Shop 2024-25 Promo, SYS Schedule.
When will I get paid?
Please keep in mind that all distributions come from profits. During these unprecedented times, we can’t be sure of anything. We certainly don’t want to promise distributions and then not follow through. If there are no profits, there is nothing to share. It’s as simple as that. When we are profitable, our regularly-scheduled payouts include SEPTEMBER (for fundraising activities completed from June-September), JANUARY (for fundraising activities completed from October-January), and MAY (for fundraising activities completed from February-May). Any funds available will be distributed approximately two weeks after the payout period ends.
I emailed my proof to A2PTOPromos@gmail.com but didn’t get a reply!
The auto-reply only gets sent out once a day per email address. If you email more than one proof a day, you will only receive an auto-reply for the first promo sent. If you received a reply for the first promo, and send all promos the same way, there shouldn’t be a problem.
How do I know when funds have been distributed?
After we have tabulated all payouts and have confirmed eligibility of submissions, we will send an email to the Reps whose schools are receiving a payout for that period once the deposits have been made. PLEASE NOTE: All funds earned through the shop are directly deposited into your school’s PTSO bank account. You do not need to pick up checks.
Why is the money I earn paid to my school PTO instead of to my club/team?
The way our non-profit is set up, all distributions must go directly to the school PTOs, who are 501(c)3 organizations. Your school treasurer will distribute funds to the individual clubs and sports teams.
Why are you no longer funding the Transportation Fund?
For many years the board was saving money to purchase a building. When we decided not to purchase the building, we distributed the money to the schools through the Transportation Fund. We continued to support the Fund until all money saved was distributed.
