What Metuchen Parent Teacher Council does
Mission
The Metuchen Parent Teacher Council (pt council or ptc) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We act as a coordinator of the three parent teacher organizations in metuchen; metuchen high school pto, edgar middle school pto, and campbell/moss pto. We help to promote the highest degree of education through efforts to: enhance the relationship between home and school so that parents and teachers may collaborate in the education process. Support the efforts of teachers and staff in the education of our students. Provide a forum for parents/guardians to communicate with the administration and each other at pto and pt council meetings. Support and encourage voting during board of education elections and encourage awareness of the annual school budget

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $35k to $26k (−25%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
74% of METUCHEN PARENT TEACHER COUNCIL’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year

How concentrated its funding is
METUCHEN PARENT TEACHER COUNCIL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 88% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
88% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund METUCHEN PARENT TEACHER COUNCIL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
88% of METUCHEN PARENT TEACHER COUNCIL's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $125 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New Jersey, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $942 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
