*Supporting Membership
*WSPTA Uniform Bylaws defines Supporting Memberships in Article 4 Membership and Dues, Section Supporting Membership-WSPTA as “an individual who supports the purposes and basic policies of the National PTA and WSPTA may be a supporting member of WSPTA by paying dues directly to WSPTA. A supporting member has none of the rights of membership except as specified in these bylaws and may receive other benefits as prescribed by WSPTA policy. A supporting member may become a full member of WSPTA by additionally joining a local PTA.

Workplace Giving Programs
Washington State PTA members are encouraged to donate to PTA through workplace giving programs. Most major employers in our state have a program in place. Several local PTAs take advantage of them and regularly receive donation checks.
Washington State PTA is registered with and receives support from the Combined Fund Drive, a workplace giving program for active and retired public employees. We are also registered with Benevity, a giving program serving hundreds of corporations nationwide.
