Additionally, because of the size of our organization, PTA is able to partner with businesses and negotiate special discounts, fundraising opportunities, and other valuable benefits exclusively for PTA members. When you make purchases from these companies, not only will you receive a discount, but National PTA will also receive a percentage of royalties from the sale.

PTA is working diligently to establish relationships with additional Member Benefit Providers to provide you with even more exclusive benefits in other categories.
