Hello, PTA Leaders! Here's an IMPORTANT announcement from LAPTA about the new GIVEBACKS requirement.
Givebacks Launched Today
LAPTA just partnered with Givebacks.com to streamline collection of membership dues and submittal of the Affiliation report. It launched today (April 28). Each PTA leader registered with LAPTA should have received a welcome email with details. If you did not receive this email, please contact Beth at president@louisianapta.org.
Givebacks is replacing CheddarUp and PTBoard services as well as MoneyMinder for free. Once you create and validate the account and you're logged in, there will be a list of "causes" associated with your email on the main log in page. Select the PTA listed under causes. PTAs are encouraged to use Givebacks instead of CheddarUp and PTBoard for their online store and website. We are still learning about their free accounting feature that would remove the need for MoneyMinder, but will know more soon.
Go through each of the menu items down the left side of the page to review the site. It will walk you through the steps to complete.
*MEMBERSHIPS Menu Item: This is how dues will be submitted to LAPTA for next year.
*COMPLIANCE Menu Item: This is where the 2025-26 Affiliation Report will be submitted.
Givebacks Welcome Workshops
Learn all the basics you need to get going! Webinar workshops are scheduled for May 5 at noon, May 6 at 6:30pm, May 7 at noon, and May 8 at 6:30pm. Register now for the meeting that you can attend here. Please try to have at least one person from your PTA attend, especially any incoming officers!
Thank you for making a difference for so many students!
Beth Maillho
LAPTA President
