Click here to see our #1 fundraising idea - Proven to work!


Welcome to PTO Ideas, the site where Parent-Teacher Organizations share school fundraising and program ideas. Unlike any other site in its design and content, PTO Ideas is like an instruction manual for building a better PTO.

From Bake Sales and Yard Sales to Auctions and Golf Tournaments, fundraising is an integral part of any PTO. But we also understand the needs of a PTO and provide you with everything from Enrichment Program, Teacher Gift, and Theme Gift Basket ideas to Sample Fundraising Letters, Bake Sale Recipes, and ideas to Increase Participation and Parent Involvement!



FUNDRAISING IDEAS

Our goal is to help make your school aware of the Fundraising Opportunities and Savings Programs that are available. Armed with that knowledge, you can then choose the programs that work best for your school or opt to try something new every year!

Understand how to organize & implement a successful event - Raffle, Golf Tournament, Yard Sale, Auction, Online Auction, Appraisal Event, Craft/Vendor Sale, Game Show, Fun-Run, Walk-a-thon, Relay, Gift Baskets, Website, Mini Golf, Training Courses, Discount Cards, Magazines, Raffle PRize Ideas, Auction Item Ideas, Calendar Raffle and so many more fundraisers.
