The comment at 09:33 at the link above has a pretty good "what not to do" list.  [/quote]

whoa, brutal, but good tips

continuity is key[/quote]

I think a one time donation is fine, if that donation is really actually helpful.  Sending 10 books into the library that doesn't need them isn't helpful.  Sending the $50 you would have spent to PTA or to a specific classroom is helpful.  It might not really make a huge difference, but it can at least be allocated in a helpful manner.

PTA funds can be grossly different in the schools. Writing a check seems like a cop out, but it is truly the best way you can help if you don't have a lot of time to put into the school.

Some schools also have various fundraisers that take little effort on your part.  They don't make a huge difference, but every little bit helps. Things like linking your Safeway card or shopping through Amazon Smile.[/quote]
