Sound familiar?
Every August you chase dues across Facebook, email, and text
Three hundred families. Half paid via Zelle, some wrote checks, a few still owe. You reconcile against a spreadsheet each Sunday night and still miss people.
Fundraiser income lives in six different tools
Silent auction in a Google Sheet. Gala tickets in Eventbrite. Box Tops in an envelope. Nobody can tell the board what the fall fundraiser actually netted.
When the treasurer changes, the books vanish
Last year's treasurer had everything on her laptop. She moved districts. The new treasurer starts from an empty inbox and a QuickBooks login she doesn't have.
How TidyHQ fixes it.
Dues collection that doesn't need Zelle
Parents pay via Stripe in one click. Auto-reminders for unpaid dues. Family tiers for multi-kid households. Your treasurer stops chasing, and the board sees paid-vs-outstanding live.
One place for dues, fundraisers, and volunteers
Dues income, silent auction proceeds, gala tickets, and volunteer hours all roll into one dashboard. Board reports pull themselves.
990-N-ready records
Track gross receipts, categorize income by source, and export the data your PTA needs for the IRS Form 990-N postcard filing. No accountant required for small PTAs.
Handover-proof by default
Board members log in with their own accounts, not shared credentials. When the treasurer hands over, the new treasurer inherits a working system, not a mystery spreadsheet.
Questions people ask.
Is TidyHQ a good fit for a US PTA?+
Yes. TidyHQ handles family dues collection via Stripe (no Zelle round-trips), fundraiser ticketing, volunteer sign-ups, and categorized income tracking that matches what small PTAs need for IRS Form 990-N. PTAs under 20 contacts use it free.
Can parents pay PTA dues online?+
Yes. Parents pay dues directly through TidyHQ via Stripe. They can pay by card or bank transfer, set up family tiers for multiple kids, and receive automated reminders for unpaid dues. Your treasurer stops chasing and the board sees paid-vs-outstanding live.
How does TidyHQ help with IRS Form 990-N (ePostcard) filings?+
TidyHQ categorizes every income source (dues, fundraisers, grants, donations) and tracks gross receipts automatically. At year-end you export a report showing the numbers your PTA reports on the 990-N ePostcard — no manual reconciliation across spreadsheets.
What happens when our treasurer changes each year?+
Board members have their own logins with role-based permissions, so the treasurer role transfers cleanly. When the outgoing treasurer hands over, all historical records, bank reconciliations, and open items stay in TidyHQ. The new treasurer inherits a working system instead of a USB drive.
Does TidyHQ replace our fundraiser platform?+
For most PTAs, yes. TidyHQ runs fundraiser ticketing, silent auctions, volunteer sign-ups, and donation tracking in one place. You can keep specialized tools (like Box Tops scanning apps) for niche workflows, but one-off fundraisers usually consolidate into TidyHQ.
How much does TidyHQ cost for a PTA?+
Free for PTAs under 20 contacts, with full features and no expiry. Pro is $49/month for larger PTAs, with a 1% + 20c transaction fee on payments in addition to Stripe fees. No per-family pricing, no setup fees, no payment processor surcharge.
