If you are using ClassroomParent to track and administer dues for your parent organization, you can use CP’s Fundraising Tools to help you get a higher participation rate, and increase funds for your parent organization.

To do so, do the following:

1. Compose a message offline (in MS Word or similar) that explains why paying dues is important to the success of your school.
2. Go to Admin/Tools
3. Click on the “Send request to non-member parents to join the PTA…” link
4. Enter a subject that will get people to open the message, such as "Want to learn how to make [your schools name] better?
5. Paste in your message (you may need to clean up the formatting after pasting).
6. You can send a test message to yourself or and other
7. When ready, send to all those that have not yet paid their dues.

The message will contain a link that allows the person to step through paying their dues via credit card. It also suggests that they add an additional donation, which about 30% of parents do.
