I agree. A suggestion that you help out another PTO wouldn't be out of line, but a mandate is. Since you are separate, the school district does not have this kind of control over your funds. Sounds a bit like they want you to cover their budget shortcomings. Not your problem to fix. Donating funds to a PTO having short-term difficulties isn't necessarily a bad idea . . . it could be you some day. But I would have a close look at WHY they are having money problems first. You can't be expected to support them long-term. Your own supporters may bail on you when they realize their own kids aren't benefitting from their help/donations.

Our school PTO is a 501c3. Our school district is mandating our PTO give a percentage of our gross revenues to the district to be distributed to "less fortunate" or "less able to raise funds" school within the district. As a 501c3 in the State of Colorado, will our PTO be forced to give?
