Support By Volunteering
PTO is staffed entirely by parent/caregiver volunteers and we have openings that fit any schedule and availability. Many roles can be done remotely and on your own schedule. When you sign up to volunteer you get to connect with educators, show your child you value their academic success, and meet other parents in our community. Take a look at the volunteer position descriptions or email president@bowmanpto.org with questions or general interest.
Support through Membership and Donations

PTO membership is free with registration! In lieu of annual membership dues, we have a fundraising appeal. We raise approximately $150 per child per year to support school programs, fund classroom supplies and staff recognition activities, and organize community events. The Bowman PTO appreciates your donations and contributions!

Employer Matching and Grants - Make a Bigger Impact Without Doing More
Last year, just a handful of families unlocked over $8,000 in extra support for Bowman PTO simply by using their employers’ matching programs. When you donate or volunteer, companies like Google, IBM, Microsoft, Moderna, Takeda, Veeva Systems, and many more will match your generosity, turning every dollar or every volunteer hour into twice the impact for our students, staff, and community. Check with your employer about charitable matching programs. We are registered as “Bowman Elementary School PTO Inc.”
Email matching@bowmanpto.org with any questions, or if Bowman PTO needs to be registered with your employer’s charitable program.
