PTA & PTO Fundraising in Anne Arundel County, MD
PTA and PTO board members are unpaid volunteers — typically parents with full-time jobs and kids of their own to manage. Traditional fundraisers (fall product sales, magazine drives, coupon books) demand enormous volunteer hours: counting forms, distributing products, chasing money. Local Deals Fundraising was designed specifically to remove that burden. One 20-minute meeting with our team launches your entire annual campaign. We build the seller pages. We manage the platform. The PTA simply sends one launch message to parents, and from there it runs through social media and text. Every family gets a personal seller page; supporters buy the Local Deals app and your PTA/PTO keeps the proceeds. No products to distribute, no envelopes of cash to count, no door-to-door sales. And because supporters renew the app every year, your PTA builds a recurring revenue base that compounds over time — your second year is always bigger than your first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Local Deals replace our existing fall fundraiser?
Yes. Many PTAs and PTOs use Local Deals as their primary annual fundraiser, retiring product-based campaigns entirely.
How do we track which PTA members and families are participating?
Each family or member gets a personal seller page. The leader dashboard shows real-time progress for every seller.
Can we run this alongside other PTA events?
Yes. Local Deals complements Spring Fling, Fun Runs, and any in-person events you already host.
How does the PTA receive funds?
We deliver proceeds directly to your PTA — there are no products to distribute or collect first.
Is Local Deals Fundraising really free for schools?
Yes. There is zero upfront cost, no minimums, and no contracts. Your school or organization only earns — we never collect a fee from you.
