[quote=Anonymous]NP here. OP - I completely get where you are coming from. The challenge is that there is a relatively small percentage of families at most SA schools that can make a $500+ gift as opposed to an extremely high percentage at NA schools. Unless multiple families are able and willing to make 4-5 figure gifts the gap just can't be closed. For example, I know of one NA elementary school that raises nearly $100k just on its silent auction. Our SA MS entire PTA budget for this year is $25k by comparison. I'm not saying don't donate or get involved - we still do - but the overall capacity for giving (and, with respect to auctions, donating/soliciting high-value items) just isn't possible compared to NA.[/quote]
