DUES INCREASE UPDATE..
Dear PTA Leader,
As a valued PTA leader, I would like to make certain you are aware of upcoming changes to National PTA dues. The members of the voting body during the 2024 National PTA Virtual Convention adopted a $1 increase to the National PTA dues rate. National PTA dues have not increased in 14 years and yet the cost to provide services has risen substantially even with National PTA undergoing wide ranging cost cutting measures. The new National PTA dues rate of $3.25 will go into effect July 1, 2025. This includes any membership sold for FY2026 before July 1, 2025.
For all PTA memberships sold starting in membership year 2025-2026—which starts July 1, 2025—please collect dues based on the new National PTA dues rate of $3.25.
PTA members pay for local unit, state and national dues combined when becoming a PTA member. Each local PTA determines the local portion of dues. Nevada PTA dues remain unchanged at $2.25. Nevada PTA has not increased dues in over 10 years. Local units will now remit $5.50 per member to Nevada PTA which includes both the state and national portion of dues.
Please remember to update your PTA’s bylaws, resources, financial pieces, website and membership materials as necessary. When bylaws are updated, per the Nevada PTA standards of affiliation, an updated copy of your bylaws must be received by the state PTA no later than July 1, 2025.
Local PTAs have two options regarding the $1.00 National PTA dues increase:
1) Keep your overall dues the same if sufficient cover the increase
or..
2) Adjust your overall dues by $1.00 to prevent any dues income loss for your PTA.
Below is an example of current membership dues for the national PTA.
Nevada PTA is here to help answer questions and provide support. If you need any help or guidance, please reach out to office@nevadapta.org. Please also see the information below which provides a brief overview of what the dues increase helps provide.
